Pump Aid is an international water and sanitation charity based in Africa and the UK. The charity establishes sustainable supplies of clean water and mechanisms to create safer sanitation, using innovative yet simple technologies that can be locally maintained. Pump Aid works to improve health and support the local agriculture and economies. Rural community members can utilise the clean water source for drinking, washing, and irrigation—which can lead to generating income from their vegetable crops. , Pump Aid had offices in Malawi and London, and employed more than 60 people,〔 most of whom are national staff in Malawi trained in well-digging and water-pump installation. The charity's 2014-15 turnover was just under £1million.〔 == History == Pump Aid was founded in 1998 by three teachers working in a rural primary school in Zimbabwe. Two of their pupils fell ill from contaminated water and died. Teachers Ian Thorpe, Tendai Mawunga and Amos Chitungo began working on a cheap and sustainable mechanism that could provide local communities with clean drinking water. They developed the Elephant Pump, a very simple design using natural resources from the communities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pump Aid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
