Myths About Mensturation

When half the world’s population spends at least 10 years of their life menstruating, and on any given day there are 300 million people menstruating worldwide. It is then overwhelming to also know that for at least 500 million women and girls[1] it is a major challenge to maintain their menstrual hygiene in a private, safe, and dignified manner. Read more

What Do We Mean By ‘Menstrual Hygiene Management’?

In the lead up to Menstrual Hygiene Day (28th May), Just a Drop will be sharing impacts, stories, and information about Menstrual Hygiene around the world and in our projects. At Just a Drop we focus on removing barriers for women and girls via Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), sometimes referred to as Menstrual Health & Hygiene (MHH).

But why can't people just move closer to water?

Just a Drop launched our the longest Twitter thread ever for World Water Day - following in the footsteps on Ann a 32-year-old Kenyan mother who is forced to walk 9km every day to collect water. But we were surprised to see that there seemed to be one common question: “But why don’t people move closer to the water?” Read more

Travel as a Force for Good

At Just a Drop, we know that the travel and tourism industry can be a force for good, but as a sector, it also faces challenges; greenwashing is abundant, and rather than cultivating genuinely progressive and relevant programmes to benefit the future of our planet, companies often miss the mark with falsely ‘sustainable’ initiatives. In this article, Just a Drop explores how travel & tourism can be a force for good - combatting human wildlife conflict and supporting conservation efforts. Read more

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.
