The PlayPump® Water System

The PlayPump® Water System
A PlayPump® water system is a child's merry-go-round attached to a water pump and storage tank that provides clean drinking water and powerful educational messages to children and families in schools and communities in rural Africa. More than one million people already generate clean drinking water with the PlayPump® system enabling improvements in health, education, gender equality and economic development.
