Mission: Drop In The Bucket believes clean water is a basic human right that must be met in order to help people break the cycle of poverty. Our mission is to build wells and sanitation systems at schools throughout sub-Saharan Africa, enabling youth to fully harness the life-changing power of an education. Our goal is to provide schools and communities with tools they need to improve child heath, increase school enrollment rates, and promote gender equality. Drop in the Bucket is a Los Angeles based registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with field offices in Uganda and South Sudan.

Results: From our founding in 2006 through October of 2013, we completed over 200 projects at schools in East Africa. We are mainly working in Uganda and South Sudan building wells and sanitation systems, setting up village savings groups and providing hygiene, sanitation and gender equality training.
