| Description: |
Kids play. water pumps! A life-changing and life-saving invention – the PlayPump® water system -- can provide easy access to clean drinking water, bring joy to children, and lead to improvements in health, education, gender equality, and economic development.
When the merry-go-round spins, it pumps uncontaminated drinking water from deep below the ground into a secure and clean 2,500-liter water tank. A simple tap provides easy access for women and children drawing water. Every 15 seconds around the world, a child dies from a disease that came from unsafe water. Especially along the southern edge of Africa, clean drinking water is in short supply. But, it doesn't have to be this way. YOU can make a difference! For as little as $6 dollars you can provide one person with access to clean drinking water for 10 years. PlayPumps International will install 4,000 PlayPump water systems by 2010. But, we need your help. Visit our website to learn how you can help provide access to clean water for thousands of children and communities. |

I'm a grad student in humanitarian assistance and I'm doing my thesis research on how aid organizations communicate via social networking. This is not spam so much as genuine research into your thoughts.
Can you please take a few short minutes to complete my survey? And if you wouldn't mind spreading the word... I'm trying to get samples from young leaders interested in aid activities around the world in order to give the information back to organizations interested in what you think!
Thanks for your help!

Im doing a huge assignment on this NGO and i was wondering if there were any more visuals available such as, graphs or charts, that i can incorporate into my project b/c it is part of evaluation. Also perhaps an explanation of the types of projects that this NGO is involved in with short term and long term solutions. I know this is overwhelming but i was also wondering if there is any information on the extent of local participation with the projects.
It would be great if anybody could help, and it would be easier if you just sent information to my email: priscillanechita@hotmail.com
Thanks!

PlayPumps International will be launching a second spin on 100 Pumps in 100 Days on World Water Day. Make a difference and join us in this challenge. From March 22 through June 29, PlayPumps International hopes to raise the funds to provide clean drinking water to 100 schools and communities – or 250,000 people – in sub-Saharan Africa.
We did it last year. Will you help us do it again?
