Pledge to Bring Clean Water AND Children's Laughter to Rural Africa
Sponsored by: PlayPumps InternationalAccess to clean water is a very serious problem for more than one billion people. But this doesn't have to be the case. This holiday season, you can help children in Africa have fun and be healthy. The PlayPump International water system pumps clean water while children play on a merry-go-round.
Did you know that water-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world? And did you also know that:
Pledge your support to bring clean, safe water AND the sound of children's laughter to impoverished areas of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Did you know that water-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world? And did you also know that:
- The average person in rural Africa must walk five miles to the nearest water source;
- Girls and women spend a total of over 200 million hours per day collecting water from often polluted sources; and
- The average five-gallon container of water weighs about 40 pounds.

These are humans in need of help, America posseses the money and resources to resolve their situation, sadly our Senators, Legislators and Law makers are more worried about putting money into Nuclear bombs, War, Diversity, and stupid hate crime bills that will cause more money and consume more resources which can be used for something more IMPORTANT like helping people in need. The suffering in Africa is so unnecessary and we most certainly have the ability to help.
