Manual rope pump with solar power alternative

The rope pump exemplifies appropriate technologies that the Group promotes within rural communities - it is inexpensive, easy to build, practical, and has the potential to dramatically improve living conditions. The solar panels are used to pump large quantities of water to storage tanks at higher elevations. From there, gravity distributes water throughout the landscape of our education center, irrigating our organic gardens and providing water for use in the dormitory and kitchen.
