A message from Fiona Jeffery OBE, Founder and Chair, Just a Drop

Safeguarding

This policy will address the following areas of safeguarding: child safeguarding, adult safeguarding, and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse. These key areas of safeguarding may have different policies and procedures associated with them (see Associated Policies). Just a Drop commits to addressing safeguarding throughout its work, through the three pillars of prevention, reporting and response.

Steps to Water

785 million people globally don't have access to safe water. In developing countries, it takes an average of 6 km to reach water, which is 8,000 steps... Bring clean water a step closer this World Water Day, Sunday 22 March! Take on our Steps to Water challenge, hold your own fundraising event, give a regular or one-off donation and share on social media and help bring water a step closer - transforming lives. #stepstowater

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.
