The Partnership
Just a Drop is delighted to be supported over three years by Boodles. The first year of the partnership saw the delivery of thirteen projects, reaching a total of 8,487 people in Kenya and Zambia.
In 2025, we’ll reach a total of 5,520 people, whose lives will be changed for the better, again in Kenya and Zambia, but also in Tanzania, a country where we haven’t worked in several years.
In Kenya in 2024, two sand dams have been supported by Boodles, as well as two primary schools, where rain water harvesting tanks will provide safe water, all year round. Before, children were missing their classes to fetching water, or they were unwell, from having to drink dirty water.
The safe water will improve health and the children will get a better education. Importantly, there was a programme on menstrual health delivered in both schools, providing information, knowledge, and awareness on menstruation for both the girls and boys, including training girls in how to make reusable cloth pads using locally available materials. We expect this will prevent girls from dropping out of school, giving them the best start in life.
In Zambia, a broken borehole in a place where water is scarce is a tragedy for communities in Zambia. Over the years, these have fallen into disrepair, so in nine villages, we have repaired boreholes, making year-round access to safe water a reality for 3,682 people.
Overall, Boodles will make a clear difference.
