Thank You For Making A Difference Again!
Published July 02, 2008 @ 04:09AM PT
Between March 22nd and June 29th, many of our supporters came together in an effort to bring individuals and families in sub-Sahara Africa access to clean drinking water. June 29th marked the completion of our “100 Pumps in 100 Days – Second Spin” campaign.
We surpassed our goal of 100 pumps in 100 days for the second year in a row and raised enough money to fund 109 new PlayPump® water systems.
"All children have the right to clean water ....... and the right to play." (Children's Charter of South Africa) These pumps will improve the lives of millions and you made it happen. Soon, more children will be spinning and smiling and clean drinking water will be flowing in 109 new communities in sub-Saharan Africa due to your compassion and support in 2007, and again in 2008.
Today, we are closer to our ambitious goal of raising funds for 4,000 PlayPump water systems in 10 countries in sub-Saharan Africa by 2010, bringing the benefits of clean water to up to 10 million people. Thank you for making the “100 Pumps in 100 Days – Second Spin” a success and taking a seat at the pump!
