Future Plans
|
Over the next three years Pump Aid plans to expand its programme
in Zimbabwe firstly in Manicaland Province |
|
Pump Aid has made steps for expansion over the border into
Mozambique. An expedition was conducted to investigate the potential
and generate the background of research needed for Pump Aid to expand
operations into Manica Province. There is widespread severe poverty in
this province and a lack of clean water is one of the fundamental
problems. Ten demonstration pumps were built to give people chance to
see and use this technology. Pump Aid is currently in discussion with
various stakeholders in the Mozambican water sector, but hopes to
expand operations in the course of the next year.

After a research expedition in May 2004, Pump Aid has partnered
with World Vision to pilot 20 Elephant Pumps in the Chiradzulu
District of Malawi. The intention is that these pumps will
launch the Elephant Pump technology in Malawi and that Pump Aid
will work with World Vision and other partners to install
Elephant Pumps in 2005 and beyond.

Several other countries have learnt of the work of Pump Aid in
Zimbabwe and invitations have been received for Pump Aid to
introduce the Elephant Pump technology in those
countries. Exploratory investigations will be conducted in these
countries with a view to propagating similar projects under the
supervision of Pump Aid. In the UK and worldwide it is hoped to
expand the educational component of Pump Aid's work through
talks at schools and public exhibitions.
