THE JUST A DROP APPEAL

Just a Drop?s mission is to reduce child mortality by delivering accessible, clean, safe water where it is needed most. Just a Drop's projects support communities through the construction of wells, boreholes, pipelines, hand pumps and latrines and establish health and sanitation programmes for some of the poorest and remote communities in the world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
