Problem

The average distance a person must walk to a water source in the developing world is five miles. The average five-gallon container of water weighs approximately 40 lbs. Because so much time is spent collecting water, girls are often denied the opportunity to go to school and women can not pursue incoming generating activities to help them provide for their families.

The Gift

Your gift will help PlayPumps International 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. Women and young girls will be freed from the burden of collecting water and able to attend school or work.
