Futurepump is a renewable energy company that designs and manufactures solar-powered water pumps, harnessing the strength of distribution partners to deliver service to rural households. Using the pumps, farmers can grow vegetables in and out of season, support agricultural productivity, and bolster climate change mitigation and adaptation.

It continues to broaden its product and distribution range, expanding its geographical reach to other East, West and Southern African countries.
