Events

The best way to raise funds are through events, whether they be local or indeed international.
 
Below are just a few examples

Just a Drop Lecture

Photo    Just a Drop’s Lecture ‘Is Water the new Oil?' held at the Royal Geographical Society in April asked whether water shortage could be the cause of the next major international conflict.

With around 1.8 billion people estimated to be living in water scarcity by 2025, BBC journalist and presenter of BBC current affairs programme HARDtalk, Stephen Sackur posed the question.

Walk the World at World Travel Market

Walk the World was an imaginative and fun way of fundraising at World Travel Market, The Premier Global Event for the Travel Industry.

Trade delegates bought exclusive Just a Drop pedometers to measure the distance they walked at the exhibition. And perhaps explain why their feet were so sore! Costing just £10, that’s all it takes to provide clean safe water to a child for life.
 
Meaning that everyone who Walked the World knew that every step they took at WTM really made a difference.

Thanks go for the generous support shown by the Tirol Tourist Board. The Heart of the Alps.
 

 

Walk4Water

walking child  

Just a Drop is planning to organise a UK nationwide charity walk in association with one of the leading high street outdoor wear retailers.

Walk4Water will be based on walking ‘just’ 4 miles which is the average distance that women in some parts of rural Africa have to walk every day to collect clean, safe water for their families.

Not that we suggest that you need carry a heavy load of water. But a picnic basket could be fun!
