The Need

More than 2.2 billion people around the world live without access to safe & reliable water. This affects all aspects of life—including health, wealth, education, food security, and safety. Women and children in developing countries spend millions of hours each day collecting water for their families. This water is often contaminated, causing major harm to personal and community life. Millions of people are left in vulnerable, restricted positions, unable to pursue their own dreams because they don't have access to life's most basic need. Many organizations and governments are fighting to bring safe and reliable water access to rural communities. Unfortunately, the pumps used to bring water can't reach deep enough and often break under the strain.

But we've developed a solution.

Motivated by our desire to share the love of Jesus by meeting the physical needs of vulnerable communities, we created LifePump to ensure communities never experience a day without water.

LifePump™

Our flagship product, LifePump, is a solution to the problem of broken hand pumps in rural communities across the globe. LifePump is a new and innovative hand pump—developed, engineered, laboratory-tested, and manufactured in the United States. LifePump reaches deeper and lasts longer than other pumps, enabling people to have access to reliable water at greater depths than previously possible.

To date, LifePumps have been installed in 10 countries, impacting thousands of lives, creating opportunities for further development, and inspiring organizations and individuals to get involved.

Most important, LifePump opens the door for the Gospel to be proclaimed and for people to receive the hope of Living Water through Jesus Christ.

You can change lives and have a lasting impact.

Dig Deeper into Design Outreach

The demand for humanitarian engineering solutions is growing. Governments, nonprofits, and corporations look for ways to reach underserved communities and markets. Design Outreach was born out of a desire to show God’s love by developing humanitarian solutions for the world's most pressing issues.

The majority of the world's products are designed for the minority who live in developed countries. Instead, our products arise from collaboration with non-governmental organizations, missionaries, and other sources from developing countries to meet the unique needs of vulnerable communities. Each project is conducted with in-country partners who know and understand the communities we serve through long-term relationships. By building trust with communities, our work opens the door to share the love of Jesus while we meet life’s most basic needs.
