Have you met Esther?

She’s one of many pump mechanics working to end ten million wasted journeys in 2022.

Esther began her journey in 2021, at 33 years old, and has since built up a robust business, carrying out freelance repair work on community pumps, and entering into ongoing service contracts with the local authorities.

As you can see, she’s pretty happy about it!

Esther is one of 92 established pump mechanics trained by Pump Aid. These amazing individuals are ending wasted journeys for women and girls, one pump at a time.

The solution to Africa’s water crisis

Recent studies have revealed that Africa’s groundwater supply is ample - so much so that it could sustain much of the population in extended periods of drought.

The issue lies with a lack of investment and infrastructure to access it. Properly and responsibly managed, groundwater could be the answer to the water crisis.

Thinking of booking a holiday?

Our partners at Charitable Travel have a whole host of special offers, and you can support Pump Aid simply by booking a holiday, through their generous commission sacrifice scheme.
