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?”
Just a Drop Launches #WalktotheWell Campaign

Just a Drop has launched the #WalktotheWell campaign, where we challenge social media users to take on the daily struggles of somebody without access to water. That somebody is Ann, a Kenyan woman who every day has to walk 9km, for four hours, just to be able to provide water for her children.
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.

HRH Queen Elizabeth II

Today, we give thanks to the reign of a remarkable woman, public servant and monarch. HRH Queen Elizabeth II demonstrated integrity, dignity, humility, compassion and utter selflessness throughout her reign. The world’s best diplomat, with family at her centre, she embodied leadership of the highest order. A role model to us all, she is sorely missed. Our thoughts are with King Charles III and the Royal Family Thank you Ma’am- For A Life Well Lived.

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.
