Travel 2 pledges ongoing support to Just a Drop
Travel 2 has pledged to support Just a Drop’s Kayabwe Village campaign in Uganda, which will provide over 1,000 people with clean, safe water.
The campaign marks the fourth year that Travel 2 parent company Stella Travel Services has supported the vital work carried out by Just a Drop.
The project will deliver four new shallow wells, six rainwater harvesting jars and six latrines at the homes of the most vulnerable in the Kayabwe Village in Uganda.
A severely disadvantaged area in relation to the availability of safe and clean drinking water, the community is suffering from extremely high numbers of water related diseases such as diarrhoea and dysentery.
The new wells and rainwater harvesting jars will provide the whole community with access to a safe, clean water source.
Just a Drop will deploy a local water and sanitation committee to train the local community on hygiene and sanitation to reduce the threat of disease further and ensure they have the appropriate skills to maintain the new wells.
Travel 2 managing director Andy Freeth said: "Because of the severe lack of access to clean water, people’s lives have been lost and are still at risk.
"Everyone at Travel 2 has been greatly touched to learn about the serious safety implications to the local people."
Just A Drop founder and chair Fiona Jeffery added: "I met the community in Kayabwe on a visit to Uganda earlier this year. I was shocked at just how young the children who were carrying jerry cans of water were – some as young as four.
"We take water so much for granted so it’s wonderful to be working with the Travel 2 team again, being able to make a difference and changing lives for the better."
