BACK TO CONTENTS JUST A DROP
Just a Drop was established at WTM in 1998 by former chair, Fiona Jeffery OBE. The charity provides a local, clean water supply through appropriate engineering solutions to some of the poorest communities in the world.
This year, monies raised at WTM will fund a specific Just a Drop project to bring clean water to two schools in Kenya. As well as sponsoring the project, WTM is also covering the costs for four staff members who will visit the project in January 2014, accompanied by Just a Drop’s head of projects and trustee, Colonel Mike Reynolds, and events manager, Nicola Baskerville. Below you can watch a short video and meet the whole team.
The schools are located in a semi-arid area, near Nairobi. Currently, children must provide their own water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. During the dry season, this means a 6km walk to the nearest river. If they arrive at school empty-handed, they risk being sent away.
Furthermore, the river water they collect is contaminated, causing illnesses such as diarrhoea, dysentery and skin infections. This, combined with the fear of being punished for being late for class, means that absenteeism levels are high.
The project will fund two rainwater harvesting systems and storage tanks at each school which will improve the overall sanitary condition of the schools and provide safe drinking water to approximately 424 children and 11 teachers.
