PlayPumps International is merging play and utility together to bring clean water to millions of children and their families in Africa. These water pumps are powered by children at play ” they spin the merry-go-round PlayPump, and clean drinking water is pumped out of the earth into a 2,500 liter tank, raised above ground. A tap on the tank makes access to water easy and safe.
For more on this marvelously simple construction, check out the video below, and 
to find out how PlayPump is improving the health and living conditions for those in need.
