Without your help the problem won’t just disappear

How will the austere measures being undertaken by governments to overcome crippling budget deficits impact you?

Imagine if that deficit was access to clean, safe water. Because that's exactly what over a billion people face daily. It’s why millions are dying and even more millions are seriously ill. And it explains why much of the third world continues to live in abject poverty. The facts are almost beyond belief!

Just a Drop is ‘small’ charity with only 2 full time members of staff. However, with the passionate support of our volunteers and a strategy that focuses on community projects we are totally committed to making a real difference to people’s lives.

To date we have helped over 1 million children and their families in 29 countries. With your support we can do so much more.

Become a Friend for Life!

Our long term strategy is to reduce child mortality caused by unsafe water. However we can only plan ongoing life-saving projects if we receive regular income to underpin one-off donations.
 
That’s why we’re asking everyone to become Just a Drop ‘Friends’ by donating a minimum
£2.00 a month.

“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out’

We know that belts currently need to be tightened but still hope £2.00 is not a lot to ask for - especially when you know over a year that adds up to providing a family with clean, safe water for life.

To become a ‘Friend’ click here. Then choose the monthly option, enter the amount you wish to give and press ‘Donate'.

Become a friend now

Celebrated in many parts of the world, Sunday 1st August is International Friendship Day. Wherever you are, celebrating it or not, it’s the perfect day to become one of Just a Drop’s ‘Friends’.

Making a splash at ITT Conference

The Institute of Travel & Tourism has supported Just a Drop since 2005 and at this year’s conference in Benidorm raised a significant amount through its Late Night Bar raffle and Gala Dinner auction. This will be used to construct two wells in a remote region in Niger for the nomadic Tuareg tribe so preserving the traditional way of life and cultural roots of these desert people.

Hot off the press at the Conference was Thomas Cook and TUI Travel pledging £150,000 over the next 3 years. Read what Manny Fontenla-Novoa and Dermot Blastland had to say.
