Craig Jones, Operations Director said: "After having the pleasure of sponsoring an event hosted by Just a Drop last year I was made only too aware of whether we are using our water effectively. Never before has the phrase "spending money like water" seemed more inappropriate as we were made to realise that there is a finite amount of the only substance on the planet that was essential to human existence."
"The Just a Drop charity ensures that families have clean and accessible water and gives many a fighting chance of enjoying their lives and avoiding sickness due to unsanitary drinking water."

UNWTO
The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations and the leading international organization in the field of tourism. UNWTO strives to maximize tourism’s potential for socio-economic growth, poverty alleviation and international understanding, while minimizing negative social or environmental impacts, through responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism. UNWTO is committed to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, geared towards reducing poverty and fostering sustainable development.
“UNWTO is proud to support Just a Drop whose water aid projects extend much needed accessible, clean drinking water and basic sanitation to the world’s poorest communities” says Taleb Rifai, Secretary-General. “That over 1 billion human beings still lack access to clean safe water is unacceptable. This deprivation sees millions of children die each year from preventable water-borne diseases, exacerbates hunger and malnutrition and impedes progress towards achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to which UNWTO as a UN specialized agency, is committed”.
“Just a Drop’ provides an exceptional channel through which the tourism industry can support and promote water access, work to combat child mortality and thus contribute to poverty alleviation and development”.
