5000 USD for 15 pumps. 333 USD/235 EUR/206 GBP per pump.

That sounds reasonable. I'll put 50% of one if anyone wants to co-ordinate a few of these?

It's a little frustrating that every article I've seen on this goes with the "town renamed after corporation" headline instead of the "$5000 equipment donation gives town clean water for next 10-20 years" option.

I don't know, maybe I'm expecting too much.

Your email isn't in your bio. Add it and I'll ping you. I have a few contacts in India I could put you in touch with.
