Case Foundation Partnership

Water For People is very excited to be working with PlayPumps International US and the Case Foundation to deliver safe water solutions to communities in Africa. Making a lasting difference for children and families in Africa and all over the world is serious business and takes tenacity, integrity and a dedication to long-lasting solutions. To us, sustainability means that communities in developing countries no longer need us or any other organization to maintain their access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities into the future.

With close to 20 years of experience addressing the global water and sanitation crisis in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Water For People works in partnership with communities to ensure that solutions last long after the day the water system is inaugurated.

Water For People will be using its grant from PlayPumps International US to add the PlayPump technology to the list of options that we offer to communities in the Rumphi and Chikwawa Districts of Malawi beginning in 2010. This is a compelling way to maximize the benefits of the inventory of PlayPumps, leverage our commitment to social entrepreneurship, and promote the sustainable supply of safe water in Africa.

Water For People is very excited to be able to accelerate and expand our efforts to promote innovative, sustainable and social-entrepreneurial driven water solutions in Africa, thanks to this investment from PlayPumps International US and the Case Foundation. The Case Foundation is known for, amongst other activities, championing new methods of social entrepreneurship in the water sector and its commitment to solving the global safe water challenge. Its support will help strengthen Water For People’s work overseas.
