This is Jamie's Pump. Read Jamie's letter to FairWater and support his project!
Dear FairWater,
I have been learning about the world at school and it makes me very sad so I want to help. I wanted to buy a playpump but have read that these are not the best as they are expensive and rely on children working hard not playing plus they are difficult to fix.
I found your website and I want to raise enough money to buy a blue pump. It is going to take me a while but I would like a pump with my name on somewhere in Africa so I know I am helping someone - is this possible?
Do you have anything you can send me to help with my fund raising so people know it is real? Maybe a collecting box or a sticker for my bucket? If not is it Ok to print your logo?
I am going to collect peoples small change at school and I am organising a 6km walk carrying my water - I hope people will sponsor me!
I am also hoping the company my Dad works for will give some money from their charity fund - I have made them a poster. Is this OK with you?
Many Thanks Jamie

Fairwater would like to help Jamie with his project and selected this broken handpump in the village of Brikama for him. The people have been using this pump for many years. But repairs become more and more frequent and finally they could not afford this anymore. They heard about the FairWater BluePump and a good support for maintenance by Swe-Gam and asked to join the BlueZone Program of FairWater.
You can help Jamie with this project by donating to FairWater and mention "Jamie's Pump" with your donation
