Fundraising Ideas

Girls fetching water in Kenya by the riverBy choosing to support Just a Drop you will be helping other children in the poorest parts of the world.

You will also learn about the daily struggles they face because they don’t have something children in the developed world may take for granted – clean, safe water.

Every £1 you raise will ensure a child has access to clean, safe water for ten years. Here at Just a Drop we are over-flowing with ideas for how you can raise funds to help these children. Below are a few suggestions, but don’t forget to download the Splash 4 Kids pack for more.
