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.

The Gift

Your gift will help PlayPumps International improve the lives of students in sub-Saharan Africa by providing easy access to clean drinking water, offering play equipment and freeing young women and girls from the arduous and time-consuming task of collecting water. The time saved is time these young women can spend in school.
