Pump Aid Who We Are

 

Pump Aid is a leading water and sanitation organisation, providing lasting solutions to clean water provision and sanitation. At Pump Aid we believe that access to clean water is a fundamental human right.  Provision of clean water for rural communities in Africa, means that people can lead a healthy and productive life. Children are able to attend a full day at school, instead of fetching water from far away, open sources. Villagers in rural communities can utilise the clean water source for drinking, washing and irrigation that can lead to generating income from their vegetable crops
