Drop in the Bucket (Drop) is a Los Angeles based, 501(c)(3) water and sanitation charity with field offices in Uganda and South Sudan.
Since 2006, Drop has worked with hundreds of villages in East Africa to drill wells, construct sanitation facilities and introduce social programs such as Village Savings and Loan Associations, Girl’s Clubs, Health Clubs, Community Hygiene Promoters, and Community Sanitation Initiatives.
Because education is one of the most effective ways of moving a country out of poverty, we work to provide schools and communities with tools they need to improve child heath, increase school enrollment rates and promote gender equality.
The best way of addressing these issues has always been to go directly to the people and work alongside them to find suitable solutions. Utilizing our “boots on the ground” approach, we employ teams of local field officers and hygiene trainers to engage the communities and help address the complex issues associated with the developing world’s water and sanitation crisis, in which 783 million people lack access to safe water, and where one in every three people lack access to an adequate toilet.
Drop In The Bucket believes we can help create a world in which children are safe, healthy, educated and free from fear. And we believe that the key to achieving those ends is clean water and sanitation.
