It is World Water Day today – Monday 22nd March! Supporting Just a Drop and their #stepstowater campaign, Tracy Corroll and Phillipa Atkinson-Clow at the WHA are wearing blue and each donating £5 to the WHA Just Giving Page.
We will also be tracking our steps this week and donating 1p per step to bring safe water to communities that don’t have basic access to clean, safe water – transforming lives. You can do the same!
Leading up to International Women’s Day, WHA Members have been invited to join a Just a Drop webinar on Friday 5th March at 10:00 discussing the impact of water scarcity on women and girls across the world. They are the ones usually tasked with collecting water. They also suffer the most from lack of sanitation and the resulting indignities.
The panel will comprise Just a Drop Founder and Chair Fiona Jeffery OBE, Senior Programmes Manager Melissa Campbell, Wood Principal Hydrogeologist Nancy Stone and African Sand Dam Foundation’s Communications Officer, Kendi Kang’ori in a debate moderated by Anne Joselin of FCDO.
They will explore what we can do to make the world more equitable for women and girls, whilst giving an insight into some of Just a Drop’s sustainable work. Please register for free via this link.
For everybody, 2020 has been a difficult year. Nobody could have anticipated the impact Covid-19 would bring to our personal and business lives.
Just a Drop, WHA’s chosen charity, brings sustainable safe water, sanitation, and hygiene projects to communities across Asia, Africa and Latin America, transforming lives.
The WHA have set a target to achieve £10,302 to complete our 6th borehole in Zambia. Currently our target sits at £5889 – a little way to go!
With that in mind, the WHA and Just a Drop have some quick, easy and fun ways to raise small amounts to help get to the target.

We understand this year, of all years, everybody will be concentrating on matters nearer to home, but a small donation can make so much difference to people less privileged than ourselves.
Your donation will help provide safe clean drinking water to somebody this Christmas.
Thank you.
