The challenge:
Drink Just Water for a week – or the whole month!

Event information

Drink nothing but water as you take part in the ultimate detox – for a week, a fortnight, or even the whole month – and fundraise to give others the gift of clean water.

After the over-indulgence of the festive season, January is the perfect time to give your body a fresh start!

Plus, getting sponsored for this challenge means the benefits will extend far beyond just you – you'll help us reach the almost 1 in 10 people around the world who don't have access to clean water. Are you in?

Registrations for January 2025 will open later this year.

Sign up as a school

No squash, no fruit juice, no sugary fizzy drinks – can your pupils take on the challenge?

We'll send you free tools and activities to help your students stay motivated as they learn about the importance of clean water and the impacts of climate change.

Take it on as a team

Get your friends, family or colleagues involved and take on Just Water as a team.

You could make the challenge more manageable by splitting up the month between you, or you could all do the full four weeks and raise even more sponsorship – it's up to you!

Not quite convinced yet? Here are three good reasons to join us:

1. Do good for others

Drink water, give water – it's as simple as that. Get sponsored to drink Just Water and you'll help bring clean water to people around the world.

2. Do good for you

Kickstart the New Year with the ultimate detox! Drinking nothing but water is the perfect way to reset your system after the indulgence of Christmas.

3. Challenge yourself

Focus on your willpower and dig deep to avoid the temptations of your morning cuppa or Friday night pint.

Past Just Water champions

Joanna from Kensington who took part in WaterAid's Just Water challenge "People think I'm crazy to only drink water for a year. My advice to others is get used to sparkling water, have a slice of lemon or lime, and add ice. Dark chocolate makes up for it too!" - Joanna Image: WaterAid/Sarah Raoufian

Mary, who took part in Just Water in 2018 "I feel healthier after doing Just Water. So much so that I'll be drinking a lot more water now - especially hot water, which I've developed a liking for." - Mary

Please note: for most people drinking more water can only be a good thing, but if you're worried about how it might affect you then please consult your doctor.
