Intele Travel are coming Back with a Splash!

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the travel industry has been decimated by the biggest public health issue any of us have experienced. Borders have closed, hotels and restaurants shut down, and tourism has almost ceased to exist.  To mark World Health Day 2022, Intele Travel are coming Back with a Splash! We’d like to invite you to help us to swim, walk, boat or cycle the 42,700 miles of UK Inward Waterways and fundraise for Just a Drop!

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.
