Pump Aid was selected as The Times Christmas Charity for their 2008 Appeal.
14 articles have appeared in the Times newspaper over the last month, describing Pump Aid's work, how we engage with communities to improve sanitation and access to clean drinking water.

"When I first heard the remarkable story of Pump Aid, I was reminded of something Margaret Mead, the American anthropologist, once said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
