What People Are Saying
"I don't consider Drop in the Bucket a water charity. Sure, we've drilled 700 plus wells, but for us water is just the first step towards a better future. We're taking the next steps in sanitation, sustainability and gender equality, with the goal being to get children into school and stay there until they graduate."
— John Travis, President, Drop in the Bucket
"Poverty isn't something you can solve by writing a check. Does reducing people's lives down to pocket change hurt them or help them in the long-term?"
— John Travis, President, Drop in the Bucket
"The more time you spend in other countries the more you see that we are more similar than we are different and helping each other is just the right thing to do. We are all part of the same family."
— Stacey Travis, Director, Drop in the Bucket
"Drop in the Bucket is, very simply, a small NGO that drills water wells and puts in the toilets and sanitation systems in schools in Southern Sudan and Uganda. I've actually been to Sudan and Uganda with the Drop in the Bucket team — I really wanted to be on the ground and see it for myself. It's for real."
— Henry Rollins
"For the past few days I have been in Kajo Keji, Sudan. They are changing and saving lives here. To see the amazing work they have done up close is astounding."
— Henry Rollins
"Every person on the planet deserves access to clean water and sanitation."
