Can you imagine a wonderful system to provide clean water to an area of drought while providing children with much needed fun and play?
PlayPumps are just that!
"You can help children in Africa have fun and be healthy. An ingenious new technology – the PlayPump™ water system – pumps clean water while children play on a merry-go-round. As the children play, water pumps into a storage tank and is easily accessed with the turn of a tap."
PlayPumps has a lofty goal of providing four thousand PlayPumps to the schools and communities of several areas in Sub-Saraha Africa, by the year 2010. These pumps will provide clean water for ten million people!
As if this wasn't enough, PlayPumps provides opportunities otherwise not afforded to girls and women, they provide instruction on sanitation, hygiene, and AIDS/HIV prevention, and they spur economic development!
I can think of few organizations doing so much to heal the world!
I applaud their efforts!
