10 YEARS OF TURNING
WATER INTO ACTION
When I founded One Drop in 2007, my dream was to live in a world where everyone would have access to safe water. 10 years later, I am proud to say that, once completed, our projects will reach more than 1.2 million beneficiaries in 13 countries. We have accomplished a lot and I have been privileged to count on the support of people who share my desire to change the world at a fast pace, in a bold and positive way. Thank you for believing in my dream and for embarking on this journey. We’re just getting started.As the situation stands now, there is still tremendous work to be done. In September 2015, the United Nations defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals that could transform the world. Goal 6 is to ensure access to safe water and sanitation for all by 2030. Let’s continue doing our part toward this goal by collaborating and sharing our efforts and knowledge as well as our financial resources to make the world a better place, together.

OUR APPROACH
WE ARE PROUD TO BE CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO SAFE WATER
TO SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
Water is an active, powerful force – when used wisely, it can change the world. We believe that providing access to safe water is not an end but a means of driving and accelerating community development. That’s why we don’t just provide people with water. The projects funded by One Drop are structured on an integrated intervention model - A•B•C for Sustainability - to drive long-term change in water and sanitation solutions. The approach is based on three complementary components designed to establish solid foundations on which targeted communities can achieve their full potential and create an enabling environment for change.
A ACCESS TO SAFE WATER,
SANITATION AND HYGIENE THROUGH
INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING OR REHABILITATION
B SOCIAL ART INTERVENTIONS
TO INSPIRE, ACTIVATE AND SUSTAIN BEHAVIOUR
CHANGE TOWARDS ACCESS TO SAFE WATER,
SANITATION AND HYGIENE
C CAPITAL TO DEVELOP
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER SERVICES TO
INCREASE THE PACE OF ACCESS TO SAFE WATER
AND SANITATION
Since its early awareness raising activities in water and livelihoods projects, One Drop’s 10-year journey has brought the organization to collaborate with many different stakeholders, to learn a great deal and to bring its creativity and innovative processes to the WASH sector (Water Access, Sanitation and Hygiene). One Drop concluded that providing access to infrastructure and raising awareness on WASH issues was not enough to bring sustainable change to communities.
One Drop pioneered a Social Art for Behaviour Change (SABC) approach that integrates a systematic and evidence-based process taking into consideration the community’s behavioural determinants (contextual, psychosocial and technological) as well as its cultural and artistic references to create locally-inspired social art interventions.
These interventions are meant to Inspire, Activate and Sustain positive behaviour change towards access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene and to empower the community with the ultimate goal of ensuring the sustainability of the projects.

OUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017
OUR PROJECTS AT A GLANCE
Throughout the past 10 years we’ve heard beautiful stories from our projects around the world. We believe storytelling is a powerful way to communicate the impact of our Social Art for Behaviour Change interventions as well as the processes and the people behind them. We are glad to share a few of those touching stories, as a reflection of our work across three continents.
When One Drop’s executing partner, Water For People, visited Basantpatti High School (Sheohar, Bihar) with plans to construct a school toilet block, it didn’t expect to encounter such an influential presence in the form of a strong-willed 13 year old girl named Prisha Kumari. Although Prisha was an energetic girl with a dynamic spirit, her dignity and confidence were greatly affected due to the embarrassment surrounding her hygiene practices. Just like many others in her village, where 80% of households practice open defecation due to lack of facilities, Prisha had to wait until dark to relieve herself for fear of humiliation. To avoid this situation she reduced her daily intake of food and water. What’s more, Prisha needed to stay home from school during menstruation, having to wait until her father and brothers were out of sight before she could change her sanitary pads.
Thanks to the participatory approach of the project, Prisha took part in social art activities promoting behaviour change, igniting her desire to start practicing better hygiene. When her school sanitary facilities were built, she became determined to improve sanitation by constructing a toilet in her own home.
Prisha’s perseverance eventually paid off, and a toilet was constructed in her home, putting an end to their practice of open defecation. Prisha’s activism also sparked a change in the mindset of the entire village, with almost 70% of the households having toilets installed soon after.
Most importantly, Prisha became an agent of change, finally finding her voice in educating others.
THE GIRL WHO FOUND HER VOICE
“I FEEL MUCH HAPPIER AND CONFIDENT NOW. I WANT TO STUDY TO BECOME A TEACHER AND EDUCATE OTHER CHILDREN
LIKE ME ABOUT HYGIENE.”
— PRISHA
One Drop’s Social Art for Behaviour Change workshops about water, hygiene and sanitation are designed to engage, educate and inspire. And that’s exactly what they did for the community of Mixtlantlakpak in the Mixtla de Altamirano region of Mexico, where the pilot project, that served as the base to design the Lazos de Agua program, took place.
With the participation of 60 young people, One Drop organized different circus, mural painting, short film, music and theater workshops that took place in the local elementary school playground. When the workshops began, 85-year-old Guadalupe Tetlactle Tehuactle, known as Lupita, was simply observing.
But it wasn’t long before she decided to join in on the fun by participating alongside the kids. Not only was she curious and eager to learn, she also made the workshops even more meaningful for the children by sharing stories about the community’s past. Lupita’s stories helped them better understand their history, the importance of protecting their water resources, and the necessity of changing their behaviours. According to Lupita, the workshops helped shed light on the community’s problems while offering a platform for creating positive change by finding solutions together.
YOUNG AND OLD WORKING TOGETHER TOWARDS
A COMMON GOAL
“I LEARNT EVERYTHING I COULD. I LISTENED AND IT WOKE SOMETHING INSIDE ME… EVERY PART OF ME IS HAPPY, EVEN MY SOUL.”
— LUPITA
SOCIAL ART ON WATER SANITATION AND
HYGIENE FESTIVALSArt and awareness came together in the context of the 2nd edition of the Social Art on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Festival in Burkina Faso. As a yearly event, the festival includes the participation of social artists and art groups that have been promoted and supported by Espace Culturel Gambidi and WaterAid (One Drop’s executing partner in Burkina Faso) and coached by One Drop throughout its activities in the region. Because the festival is a local undertaking that belongs to the communities, it will be able to continue year after year. That’s an example of sustainability.
Nationally and regionally recognized social artists from the villages of Banfora, Moussodougou, Bérégadougou, Peni, and Toussiana, have participated in the festival, which 2017’s edition commemorated the World Water Day. With 33 shows in the 5 villages, the festival included music, dance, theatre, comedy as well as conferences, meetings and more.
One Drop began scouting local artists and assessing potential partners in the region in 2009 and executing a project in 2011. It was evident that by supporting local artists and their organizations, they were becoming more autonomous as time went by. Social arts, like those on display during the festival, have continued to live on in the community even after the limited duration of One Drop’s project.
Social art does more than just allow communities to learn about best hygiene practices. With a positive model and a safe place for debate, it also reaches populations, touches them emotionally, mobilizes them towards behaviour change, enables entire communities to identify, understand and confront their WASH challenges and initiate a transformation process. Community engagement and social arts create experiences like this sustainable Social Arts on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Festival where people can come together and make important decisions for their health, their development and their future.
Lazos de Agua is a multistakeholder Program regrouping One Drop, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), The Coca-Cola Foundation, and the FEMSA Foundation. With a commitment of US $25 million from these organizations and complementary investments from national and local governments of a matching amount, Lazos de Agua is a US $50 million initiative that seeks to provide access to safe drinking water, and improved sanitation and hygiene to 200,000 people in Latin America by 2021.

Our One Night for One Drop charity event in Las Vegas was back for its 5th edition. The star-studded event featured performances by multi-platinum selling vocal group The Tenors and Emmy Award-winning actor William Shatner, with additional performances by America’s Got Talent winner Grace VanderWaal, GRAMMY®-nominated rapper Redfoo from the Party Rock Crew, AGT finalist Malevo and more. Following the performance, guests were invited to “party rock” poolside, also enjoying a surprise performance by one of the world’s most beloved boy bands, the Backstreet Boys.
ONE NIGHT FOR ONE DROP OVER THE YEARSEach year, performers, cast and crew come together to participate in One Night for One Drop, an extraordinary, one-night-only event imagined by Cirque du Soleil. All the other Cirque du Soleil shows on The Strip in Las Vegas close the doors of their theatres, so nearly 1,000 Cirque employees can participate, collaborate, volunteer and come together for this event. These sold out performances have been seen by 8,850 spectators and this spectacular evening has reached the ambitious goal of US $30M raised since inception in 2013.
As part of this event and in collaboration with MGM Resorts International and Treasure Island, many of the Cirque du Soleil shows on The Strip donate the proceeds from one day of performances to One Drop. Since 2013 a total of US $7.75M has been raised through this collaborative initiative.

POKERThe One Drop poker initiatives in 2017 have yet again demonstrated their deepening roots in the poker community with 2 tournaments that took place at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, as well as 2 at the WSOP European Series at the King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. These included One Drop’s popular Little One for One Drop US $1,111 buy-in event and the High Roller for One Drop US $111,111 buy-in event in each city, gathering poker players, philanthropists, celebrities and businessmen from across the globe with a portion of each buy-in going to One Drop’s safe water access projects.
POKER OVER THE YEARSAlong with an outstanding engagement from players this year in the form of cash donations, a total of over US $20 million has been raised by the poker community since 2012. Tallying up the 4 tournaments seen in 2017 to make a total of 15 tournaments in total since the beginning of the partnership with WSOP, over 12,000 poker players have been involved in making an impact on the lives of over 170,000 people in need of safe water access.
