What would you do if the taps ran dry?

Did you know millions of women in rural sub-Saharan Africa spend on average FIVE HOURS every day collecting water? The water they carry home in heavy buckets on their heads is usually dirty and can cause life-threatening illness. Having an Elephant Pump in the village frees up time that women can spend productively in their gardens or on other household tasks, even earning an income, as well as ensuring a healthier life for everyone. We’ve been thinking about how we’d cope if we had to devote five hours a day to getting hold of one of life’s essentials – no more slobbing out in front of the telly, cancel the gym membership, maybe a couple of hours less sleep a night, and the hours we work would have to be cut back, which would mean a reduction in pay … can you see where this is leading?

We’d like to know what activities you would have to give up if the taps ran dry. Could you give up a few minutes now to answer this QUESTIONNAIRE
