SIMAVI

Simavi is a public health organisation that believes everyone has a right to good health. This is why we work on people’s health in the poorest regions of developing countries. We focus specifically on the health of mothers, as they are the key to their family’s health. Together with them we take care of safe drinking water and sufficient hygiene, healthy pregnancies and children’s health. We also provide mothers with the knowledge they need to prevent diseases. Together with local organisations we offer direct and practical support. And we stand up for the interest of people. This works. For more than 85 years

WASH will encourage multi-national food companies to reduce salt in their products and will work with Governments in different countries highlighting the need for a population salt reduction strategy. The overall aim is to bring about a reduction in salt intake throughout the world by reducing the amount of salt in processed foods as well as salt added to cooking, and at the table.

Rope Pump

The basic elements of the Rope pump are an endless rope with conical pistons placed at intervals of 1 meter. The rope with pistons is pulled through a PVC raising main tube to lift the water to the surface.
The wheel and handle are made of galvanized tube. Spokes that clamp cut-out parts of a car tire, form a perfect pulley.
The pistons are made locally of rubber from cartires of high density polyethylene and fit with a small clearance in the rising main tube to avoid hydraulic losses. The rope with pistons turns around at the bottom of the well by means of a concrete guide blox with an internal ceramic or glass piece to reduce wear at this point.
