We are a not-for-profit, non-governmental social service group committed to educating underprivileged groups in Andhra Pradesh, women and children in rural areas, dalits, landless labourers, widows, destitutes and orphans, who need our specialist care for their survival. It is our firm conviction that unless women, as the very backbone of social structure, are moved from inertia and inaction, the very notion of integrated rural development remains little more than an enthusiastic fertility project.

Launched in 1998, Just a Drop continues to receive considerable support from worldwide travel & tourism companies whilst also increasingly now from other business sectors. In our 11 years to date we have undertaken over 65 water aid projects and helped over 1 million children and their families in 29 countries. Just a Drop raises money to build wells, install boreholes and hand pumps, and carry out sanitation and health education programmes in some of the poorest parts of the developing world. Rather than taking a global perspective on the issue, we look at the local picture to establish how we can achieve maximum impact at ground level. This means working directly with other charities, local partners and communities. We believe that a good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. After all, if it is a case of saving lives there’s no time for unnecessary delays.

Originally a 'Not-for-Profit' organisation founded in 2004, Just for Smiles became a professional Public Service Foundation in 2008. It is run by a flexible and efficient Management/Secretarial structure which arranges free sporting activities for the handicapped residents of Institutions. Life does not treat everyone equally. Whether it be from birth, or after an accident, 100,000 people in Switzerland are currently polyhandicapped or have severely restricted mobility. Most of them, including numerous children and youths, live partly or permanently in an Institution. Since its inception – firstly in Swiss Romande and now progressively across Switzerland – Just for Smiles has collaborated closely with these places. Without Just for Smiles and its networks of resources, those confined to Institutions – despite their own exemplary courage and determination – would not have access to the activities we provide, nor to the physical and psychological benefits these bring.

Students with learning disabilities represent a huge resource for our society, and with the proper tools and support, they can pursue (and achieve) a postsecondary education – an opportunity that might not otherwise be open to them. At The Justin Eves Foundation, that’s exactly what we strive to do: secure revenues that will directly assist students with learning disabilities to achieve a post-secondary education at an institution that can accommodate their needs. The Minds In Motion awards were established to help with the costs of tuition, specialized software, tutors, note takers and other essential accommodations that are needed so that students with learning disabilities can achieve their potential at school. Since 1997 over 300 Ontario high school graduates have received financial support to help them achieve their dream of post secondary education.
