Pedaling for the People of Malawi: Introducing DO's Pump Rehabilitation Program

This September, Design Outreach's Engineering Solutions Director will load more than 50 pounds of gear onto his bicycle and ride 326 miles along the Ohio to Erie Trail. Over six days, he'll pedal an average of 55 to 60 miles each day before sleeping in a tent each night.

Michael’s goal is to raise $30,000 to restore four Afridev hand pumps through DO's new Pump Rehabilitation Program. Learn how Michael’s ride and this exciting program will help bring pumps back to life here:

DO Announces New Partnership to Strengthen Gospel Outreach

For years, Design Outreach has partnered with communities to bring safe, reliable water and the hope of the Gospel where both are urgently needed. Today, we're excited to announce a new partnership with World Hope Ministries International (WHMI) that will strengthen our efforts to share the Gospel with the communities we serve.

When we launched our Beyond Measure Campaign in 2024, we set a goal to reach 1 million people with life-saving technology by the end of 2026. We are thrilled to report that we hit that milestone 5 months ahead of schedule.

That number represents real people in real communities who now have access to clean water, better sanitation, and essential health care through technologies like our MaxLife Centralizer™, which has the potential to revolutionize global water access.

None of this would be possible without the donors, partners, and supporters who believed in this work. From all of us at DO—thank you! Our next goal: reach 10 million people by 2030. Support the Beyond Measure campaign here: https://ow.ly/F3yH50ZvLor
