How far can you get on Ann's #WalktotheWell? Start the challenge now.

Most of us know that millions of people have to walk hours every day to fetch clean water. But none of us know the full story. 

The time wasted, or the reality of risking their lives multiple times a day. Just for a drink. 

It’s time to change that. 

At Just a Drop, we’re a community-led charity with a big mission -  to end this mindless waste of human potential. 

But we noticed that telling people time and time again, about the lack of access to water, wasn’t going to make real change. 

So how do we highlight the people it affects, and not just the problem? 

This is The Walk to the Well. 

The longest Twitter thread ever made. 

Challenging people to scroll the distance of one woman’s 9km walk to water.

 
The real life story of Ann, from one of our communities in Kenya. 

Across over 2000 tweets, the thread takes people on a powerful journey.

Through an incredible, immersive story.

From threatening strangers and demanding terrain, to the quieter moments where Ann dreams of her future. 

When people scroll as far as they can, they simply like the tweet and are sent back the distance they reach, as well as a prompt to donate.

Raising awareness and creating real change on the ground for thousands of people.

The campaign goes live on Monday 20th March 2023, ahead of World Water Day. 

We’re hoping for thousands of donations, that will help bring clean water solutions, like sand 

dams, closer to communities. 

You’ve been reading for around 2 minutes now. 

Ann will have to walk 75 times this before she gets home with her jerrycan.

Our goal at Just a Drop is to make that journey shorter and give millions of people their future’s back. 

Changing things for the better, step by step.
