Story of a Sand Dam

In the semi-arid area of Makueni County in Kenya, Just a Drop works with community self-help groups to build sand dams, which provide a natural and sustainable solution to capturing the biannual rains that fall so quickly and heavily that very little water is captured captured for drinking, washing, or other needs. View our photostory of the Kwa Voki community's sand dam here.

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.

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.

Radisson Hotel Group

Radisson Hotel Group has partnered with Just a Drop as part of its Blu Planet programme. Our partnership helps give children around the world access to safe drinking water through the hotel brand’s towel re-use programme. Guests are asked to reuse their towels and forego housekeeping. For every towel reused, Radisson Hotel Group make a donation to Just a Drop. Over 15,000 people across Just a Drop projects now have access to safe water thanks to this initiative.

Get Involved!

Take on a marathon, hold a bake sale, give a monthly donation - there are so many ways you can get involved and join us in bringing clean, safe water to all.
