The need for water pumps

We were in Malawi last week and saw the desperate need for water pumps. We went to a village in the midde of a rural area. There we saw a young lad who spent half the day dropping a bucket down a well and pulling out water. He looked exhausted.

We spoke to the local villagers about the concept of a solar powered water pump and they were extremely enthusiastic. 'When can you get one for us?' they asked. They said they'd use it for irrigation, for water for their animals, as well as for their own uses. It would revolutionise their lives.
