An Interview with Our Founder on Safe Water and Gender Equality

Just a Drop and Gender Equality, from Founder and President Fiona Jeffery OBE

We’re proud to share our latest film, featuring an interview with our Founder and President, Fiona Jeffery OBE.

In this candid conversation, Fiona reflects on why gender equality has always been at the heart of Just a Drop’s work. She explains how women and girls are disproportionately affected by the lack of safe water and sanitation, and why access to these essentials is so transformative.

As Fiona shares, ensuring gender equality isn’t a separate strand of our work: it’s embedded in everything we do. By supporting access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene, we also support greater equality, opportunity, and resilience for women and girls across the world.

This full-length interview brings together Fiona’s thoughts and insights across our work, offering a unique perspective on why gender equality matters so deeply to Just a Drop — and how it drives the change we deliver for communities every day.
