Drop by Drop Charity CSS Contest

Drop by Drop is looking to create a face for itself on deviantART to kick start its initiatives here. The folks from Drop by Drop are excited to get a hold of the creative excellence deviantART has to offer to bring about designing a custom journal for the initiative.


The Resources

The Charity

Drop by Drop is a novel project created in support of clean water and sanitation systems in Kenya through various initiatives. Its concept extends far beyond that of a simple fundraiser. In actuality, it embodies a lifestyle philosophy. It embraces the idea that true progress is accomplished little by little, person by person, drop by drop. As youth, we are powerful beyond measure, and positioned in manners which allow us to effectuate change in our local and global communities.

The Impact

The objective of Drop by Drop is two-fold, operating on a local and global level. All generated funds are dedicated to alleviating the harsh situation in Kenya, where struggles for water, life's most fundamental necessity are commonplace. Through our multiple projects we hope to raise sufficient funds to supply clean water and sanitation systems within deprived communities in Kenya.

Additionally, we hope to stimulate a fundamental mind shift in the minds of the youth of today. Through events, workshops and school presentations we will to inspire students to act on their passions.

There exists a great divide between the potential of our youth and their actions. It is our goal to close that gap. Far too many youth organizations focus their efforts on improving existing leaders. We hope to create new ones. The leaders behind Drop by Drop are not bureaucratic professionals. We are students. That fact allows us to relate to our audience. We believe that under engaged students will be able to witness us as a reflection of themselves, and parallel our success as leaders as their true potential.

Our presentations are not only about Kenya, not only about Drop by Drop, they deliver a diverse perception of global issues and realistic strategies to tackle them. If anything else, we want to make students self-aware, knowledgeable of their own gifts and talents and restore faith in their inherent capability to change the world.
