Play Pumps

Forty billion hours are lost each year due to a worldwide problem: no access to clean water. Half the people in developing countries are suffering from water-related diseases. Thanks to an innovative water pump these astonishing statistics can change. Doubling as a water pump and merry-go-round for children, the PlayPump System provides easy access to clean water, brings joy to children and helps improve developing countries. Installed near schools, these water pumps are powered by children. Your support can help build 4,000 PlayPumps in sub-Saharan Africa by 2010, providing clean water and playground equipment for communities in desperate need.
