WHY WATER?
2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water
Meanwhile, the fashion industry consumes vast amounts of water, with a single pair of jeans requiring around 2,000 liters. From cotton irrigation to dyeing and washing, these processes often pollute local waterways, particularly in textile-producing countries like Bangladesh and India. Fast fashion further drives waste, with 92 million tons of textiles discarded annually, much ending up in landfills where chemicals leach into soil and water. And water is also a feminist issue: without proper sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, women and girls cannot manage their health safely or participate fully in society.
Drip by Drip tackles the man-made water crisis and its devastating impact, driven by the textile industry and global consumerism, focusing on the most affected communities and ecosystems in textile-producing countries.
Through impact-driven networks – connecting experts, suppliers, brands, institutions and local organizations – we foster shared responsibility and accountability for a truly water-just fashion system.
We build and share knowledge with educational formats and partner with brands and grassroots organizations to implement local water-related projects.
