Playpumps

I came across this site while doing some research for the creative playground currently under construction in Richmond. The PlayPump is a creative solution to providing clean drinking water in Africa and adding some great play value for children. This is one type of child labour to feel positive about.

We were considering using this at the playground in Richmond, but it didn't work out for our site. However, we will definitely look for other opportunities in the future.

The link to the frontline website features a brief video telling the story of the pump.
