Solution Overview & Benefits

Human-powered treadle irrigation pump turns a small vegetable plot into a thriving commercial business in just one season.

This water pump functions much like a simple Stairmaster machine (but minus the effort), designed to operate through easy stepping motion. It can be used with sprinklers and is designed to meet the unique needs of Africa’s farmers, with the durability to last.

Ideal for: All farmers ready to scale up their business, especially those with plots up to 2 acres.

With irrigation, farmers can grow and sell as many as three to four high value vegetable crops every year and ensure that the crop is ready for market when the price is high. The MoneyMaker Max pressure pump provides farmers a pump that can push water uphill as well as simply pulling it up from the source. This means it is suitable for use on steeply sloping land where the water source may be at the bottom.

History & Development

KickStart is a nonprofit social enterprise with a mission to move millions of people in Sub–Saharan Africa out of poverty quickly, cost-effectively, and sustainably. To do this, KickStart designs and distributes affordable irrigation pumps that enable farmers to access shallow ground and surface water and irrigate their fields year-round. They grow and sell food during the dry season when prices are highest, adapt to climate change, and build lasting financial security.

To date, KickStart has distributed over 390,000 pumps to farmers and their families.

KickStart has operations across 17 high-priority countries across Africa, managed by three Regional Hubs in Kenya, Nigeria, and Zambia.
