PlayPumps International is a nonprofit collaborative that enables individuals, governments, foundations, and companies to donate PlayPump™ water systems to rural African communities and schools. Donors to PlayPumps International help improve the lives of children and their families by providing easy access to clean drinking water, enhancing public health, and offering play equipment to millions across Africa.

PlayPumps International is registered both as a United States 501(c)3 organization and as an independent South African NGO, and maintains offices in both countries. PlayPumps International was formerly known as Roundabout PlayPumps.

Roundabout Outdoor is a rapidly growing South African company with a social mission; it does well by doing good. Outdoor Fabrication and Steelworks (OFS) manufactures the pump and Roundabout Outdoor installs and maintains PlayPump water systems.

Together, our mission is to provide rural communities throughout Africa with a uniquely sustainable, free supply of clean drinking water.

At the same time, we strive to bring joy into the lives of African children and better health for millions, and to further the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.

We will carry out our mission by installing thousands of PlayPump systems throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, which will bring clean water to up to 10 million people over the next three years. Nearly 900 PlayPump systems have already been installed in southern Africa.
