Playpumps International Inc

Our mission is to provide rural and peri-urban communities in sub-Saharan Africa with a uniquely sustainable, free supply of clean drinking water. At the same time, we strive to bring joy into the lives of African children and better health for millions, in addition to furthering the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals. We will carry out our mission by donating and installing 4,000 PlayPump® water systems in ten countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, which will provide access to clean drinking water for up to 10 million people by 2010. More than 900 PlayPump systems have already been installed in South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique and Swaziland.

Make a difference now by joining the PlayPumps International 100 Pumps in 100 Days challenge. From March 22 through June 29, PlayPumps International hopes to raise funds to provide clean drinking water to 100 communities – or 250,000 people – in sub-Saharan Africa. Each PlayPump costs $14,000 to build and install, with 10 years guaranteed maintenance, so we need to raise $1.4 million by the end of June if we want to reach 100 communities.
