Pumps are built in response to grassroots demand and in full consultation with the local community. The local community come together to assist in the building process, providing materials such as bricks, sand, stones and unskilled labour. The Elephant Pump can also supply water for irrigating nutrition gardens where communities can grow crops to improve their diet and sell the surplus.
 
The pump is hand powered powered, but can be adapated to wind, solar or even a bicycle. 21 other African countries have lined up to implement similar projects.
