Global Advisory Council
To date, more than 1000 PlayPump® water systems have been successfully donated to African communities, benefiting millions of people. We didn’t do this alone – we partnered with governments, NGOs, corporations, foundations, and others in order to install each and every pump.
The PlayPumps International Global Advisory Council (GAC) is a dynamic and diverse group of individuals committed to helping PlayPumps International achieve its goal of bringing clean drinking water to African schools and communities.
The Council provides funding, expertise and leadership to support our efforts. With their help, we are confident that we will meet our goal of providing funding for 4,000 PlayPump water systems in sub-Saharan Africa by 2010.
