Organization Description

Drop in the Bucket is an all-volunteer organization that was formed in the summer of 2006 by a group of entertainment industry professionals who decided it was time to give something back and take the initiative to help contribute to the health and well being of our fellow man. By creating a “partnership” with local families to share responsibility rather than simply giving charity, DITB aims to achieve self-sustaining communities.

Our mantra is, “individuals can make a difference.” When we began, none of us had ever traveled to Africa and we knew nothing about drill bits, well pumps or hydro-geological ground surveys. Armed with nothing more than laptop computers and the desire to make a differenced, we started with Internet searches and soon began forming an invaluable network of talented and motivated people from around the globe.

Our business plan involves getting as much money as possible into programs on the ground, as quickly possible. We are rigid with our bookkeeping and personally oversee how every penny is spent. We have no company overhead, minimal operating costs and no one takes a salary.

We are so dedicated to donor financial scrutiny that we will provide anyone who asks with a copy of our financial records and if someone donates the funds to pay for a well, we will place the name of their choice on that well.

In the first two years we installed over 25 water wells and a number of sanitation systems at schools in Uganda, Mozambique and Tanzania. With your generous support we can continue to expand our reach. By providing these children with clean, accessible water, we are helping them secure the opportunities that we all deserve for a bright, healthy and prosperous future.
