PlayPumps bring clean water and fun to Africa

Here is another brilliantly simple concept that is fun and useful at the same time. PlayPumps International's mission is help improve the lives of children and their families by providing easy access to clean drinking water, enhancing public health, and offering play equipment to millions across Africa. To do this they have created patented water pumps powered by children at play. While children have fun spinning on the PlayPump merry-go-round, clean water is pumped from underground into a 2,500-liter tank, standing seven meters above the ground. A simple tap makes it easy for adults and children to draw water.
