About Just a Drop

Launched in 1998, Just a Drop is an international water-aid charity which aims to contribute positively to the reduction of child mortality caused through poor sanitation and unsafe water and to actively reduce the numbers of people without access to clean water

Working with local partners - at a grassroots level - they provide a local, clean water supply through appropriate engineering solutions to some of the poorest communities in the world

The work they support includes safe sanitation and the construction of wells, boreholes, pipelines, hand pumps, sand dams and latrines. They also strive to improve health and sanitation education by encouraging the establishment of WASH (Water and Sanitation Hygiene) programmes to run alongside their work

To date, their projects have reached an estimated 1.5 million people in 31 countries from Afghanistan to Zambia. 

Fast Facts:

· A child dies around every 20 seconds as a result of a water related illness
