Visit USA Association

The Visit USA Ball is held each year on American Independence Day in the Hilton London Bankside.

The Visit USA Ball has kindly been supporting Just a Drop for a number of years and is currently supporting 494 children at Nachoncho Community School in Zambia with gender-sensitive latrines and handwashing facilities.

Previously, the school’s latrines were in a state of disrepair, water was located over 1.5km away, and the school did not have facilities for girls to manage their periods privately and with dignity, leading to high drop-out rates and absenteeism. The gender-sensitive latrines with a private changing and showering area will lead to more girls attending the school. Overall, the project will improve hygiene at the school, reducing illness among the pupils and leading to improved school attendance and performance.

Thanks to Visit USA's support these children and young people can look forward to much brighter futures.

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.
