North West Installations
In February 2014 we visited Phatlihanyane Primary School. They had a borehole, but the windmill over the borehole had been broken for many years and the school was unable to raise the funds to put in a new pump. This meant that the school relied either on the community borehole and the kids had to […]

Blankets to keep the kids warm in winter

Help maintain existing PlayPumps
The first PlayPumps were first installed in 1996 and since then we have put in over 1,000 PlayPumps in South Africa. Much like a car they do need to be maintained periodically. The PlayPump is a very robust piece of equipment, and many of them are still working well, but periodically seals need replacing, cylinders […]
