PlayPumps International

PlayPumps International is a nonprofit organization that creates innovative water pumps aimed at providing clean, safe drinking water to underserved communities, primarily in Africa. Their core idea involves integrating a water pump into a colorful, child-friendly playground merry-go-round. When children spin the merry-go-round, it mechanically pumps groundwater up into wells or reservoirs, making water easily accessible for families. This approach encourages community involvement, promotes hygiene, and offers a sustainable solution for rural areas with limited water infrastructure, thereby improving health, education, and economic stability.
