What We Do

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

Projects

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.

The Great Whisky Distillery Challenge

A record-breaking dash round 60 of Scotland’s distilleries gathered a unique whisky collection raffled for Just a Drop, which has raised £10,755, which can support a whole community in Zambia with access to clean, safe water and sanitation.
