Timothy's Story

Timothy Wambua, 39, is from Kilanga village in Makueni County, Kenya. Just a Drop worked with Timothy's community to provide access to safe water through the construction of a sand dam. Sand dams raise the water table of the surrounding area, regenerating the land and enabling vegetation to grow. We caught up with Timothy to hear how the sand dam has supported the development of his successful farming and fruit growing business.

What We Do

We work at a grassroots level to support communities around the world with access to sustainable safe water solution, sanitation facilities and knowledge of safe hygiene practices: such as through the construction of wells, pipelines, sand dams, rainwater harvesting systems and latrines, and hygiene and sanitation programmes.

Why Water?

With clean water, communities can begin to lift themselves out of poverty and build brighter futures. Drinking dirty water can make people sick. That’s just part of the picture. A lack of clean water and sanitation holds back development and makes it harder for communities to escape the poverty trap.

Our Approach

We believe everyone, everywhere, should have access to clean water as a basic right. We want to see a world where everyone has clean water and adequate sanitation, and the increased health and prosperity this brings. Our approach is to support marginalised people across the world through community-led development, rather than aid; and to focus on sustainability and quality, ensuring a project's transformative impact is felt for decades to come.
