Euromonitor Launches Online Initiative To Raise £20,000 For Water Charity Just A Drop

Just a Drop

Euromonitor International, the world's leading provider for global business intelligence and strategic market analysis, has launched a fundraising partnership with international water charity, Just a Drop. 

Euromonitor is supporting the charity by engaging their own customers. Euromonitor sells all of their market research content, products and services through their website, and will donate 1% from all of its online sales over the next 12 months. Overall, Euromonitor aims to raise £20,000 during the course of the partnership. 

Catherine Dix Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Euromonitor says, “Euromonitor is thrilled to be partnering with Just a Drop to provide communities with access to safe drinking water.  Collaboration and empowerment are core values to Euromonitor and, the approach Just a Drop takes by, working closely with community partners to ensure the best solution is identified while providing training to ensure ownership and sustainability of the project appealed greatly to the organisation.” 

Fiona Jeffery OBE, Chair and Founder of Just a Drop says, “We are delighted to be chosen as Euromonitor's nominated charity. Their support will bring clean, safe drinking water and suitable sanitation to people in need.  £1 can, on average, bring clean, safe water to a child for nearly ten years and so every customer interaction and ensuing donation from Euromonitor will have a real impact on people's lives and help expand awareness of our cause internationally.  Thank you on behalf of everyone here at Just a Drop.”
