Art is universal, but access to safe water is not. Today, 2 billion people globally do not have access to safe water at home.

Water, people, and art are at the heart of a better, more sustainable world, where communities empower themselves and can drive sustainable impact. This is why, at the One Drop Foundation, we aim to ensure sustainable access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene for communities everywhere through innovative partnerships, creativity and the power of art. Our world is changing, so must we.

Land Acknowledgement

The One Drop Foundation acknowledges Inuit, Métis, and First Nation Peoples across Canada as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters since time immemorial. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us, and the youth that inspire us.

Together, let's turn water into Sustainable Development Goals action.

One Drop is working towards achieving several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is through partnerships and working with comunities that we can make a lasting impact in Canada, and around the world.

There are a number of reasons why poverty has become an epidemic in Africa. Poverty can be the result of political instability, ethnic conflicts, climate change and other man-made causes.

But one of the greatest causes of poverty in Africa is also the most overlooked...the lack of access to clean drinking water.

Nearly one billion people do not have access to clean, safe water - that's the equivalent of 1 in 8 people on the planet!

Every day in rural communities and poor urban telefònica throughout sub-Saharan Àfrica, hundreds of millions of people suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe wàter.

Women and girls especially bear the burden of walking milers at a time to gather water from streams and ponds - full of water-born disease that is making them and their families sick.

Illness from drinking dirty water and the time lost fetching it robs entire communities of their futures.

Hope is put on hold in over half of the developing world 's primary schools without access to water and Sanitation.
