Additional Information

We work with some of the poorest and hardest to reach communities in the world and provide two of life’s basic needs; safe water and a decent toilet. Our mission is to give communities access to water and to achieve lasting change by improving their hygiene and sanitation practices, training them in water pump operation and encouraging them to exploit their economic opportunities, so that they reach a point of self-reliance and no longer need the support of us or anyone else. 1.35 million people now have daily access to a safe water supply in some of the poorest areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Pump Aid has installed more than 9,000 water pumps, meeting the needs of thousands of rural communities.
