Q.5
Case Pump Aid
This case study is about Pump Aid, an organization that developed and
installed a low-cost pump called the Elephant Pump to tackle the
problem of water scarcity in African countries. Established in 1998,
Pump Aid adopted an innovative approach to providing water and
sanitation solutions to communities in rural Africa by installing these
cost-effective water pumps and toilet systems. The Elephant Pumps
were built using local materials and were based on the rope and washer
pump technology. As the pump handle was turned, water was drawn up
by plastic washers attached to a rope. The pump could lift water from
up to 50 meters deep and produced one liter of water every second. The
pedal powered mechanism also made pumping water fun as children
played on the pumps.
The Elephant Pump, initially developed and tested in Zimbabwe, was
mainly installed in Malawi and Zimbabwe where the incidence of
water-borne diseases was common. According to some analysts, the
installation of the community-centered Elephant Pumps improved the
socio-economic life of the people in the rural villages in Africa. The
pumps contributed to community development and created a positive
impact on the livelihood of villagers in terms of gender equality, health,
and time-savings. They felt that the pumps were innovative, cost
effective, and could be maintained by the rural communities without
any outside assistance. However, there were others who were doubtful
about their sustainability.
