PlayPumps International’s mission is help 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.  

PlayPumps International is a 501(c) 3 organization in the U.S. with a partner organization called Roundabout Water Solutions in South Africa.  

Together, we provide schools and communities throughout Africa with an innovative, uniquely sustainable, free supply of clean drinking water. 

We strive to bring joy and play into the lives of African children, better health for millions, and to achieve the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.

We will carry out our mission by installing 4,000 PlayPump® water systems in 10 countries in sub-Saharan Africa by 2010, bringing the benefits of clean water to up to 10 million people.

More than 1000 PlayPump systems have already been donated to communities in South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Zambia.
