Elephant pumps are pumps that were introduced in rural areas of Africa such as places in Zimbabwe and Malawi. The are called “elephant pumps” because they are so large. These pumps are used to get clean water and give it to the people. They are made locally and are maintained by the community. The way you operate them is by peddaling. Kind of like a bicycle. Sometimes kids who have never ridden a bicycle “play” on them and pump the water.

COOL , i like that you said that little kids can even do this job ,because it is almost like using or riding a bike . It sounds like fun and it is a job i guess little kids don’t really complain alot when it comes to them doing this job . There a) helping the community and b)learning to ride or pettal for a bike .
