The 37-year partnership has empowered Congolese community, one drop at a time

Charlotte, N.C., March 20, 2024 鈥� In commemoration of World Water Day on March 22nd, Johnson Pump, a distinguished industrial pump brand of 免费吃瓜, celebrates more than 200 million gallons of water supplied to international communities in need. For more than three decades Johnson Pump has supplied the Christian Medical Institute of Kasa茂鈥檚 Good Shepard Hospital, a vital facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo's Kasa茂 Central Region, with a continuous water supply. To date, the pumps have delivered 211 million gallons to the Presbyterian Community of the Congo (CPC) site.

The community uses Johnson Pump Multi-Stage Horizontal Centrifugal pumps to draw water uphill from the nearby Lubi River to support both the hospital and approximately 6,500 Congolese residents. As the , these pumps operate in pairs to also support the local schools and university.

鈥淲ithout these pumps, the hospital couldn鈥檛 function. There鈥檚 no other utility in the region that could support the hospital in the way that Johnson Pump does,鈥� said Good Shepard Hospital surgeon, Dr. John Fletcher. Based in the U.S., Dr. Fletcher has volunteered in the region for more than 20 years, often doubling as both the on-site operational pumps manager and physician.

Why Johnson Pump Solutions:

• Chosen for their remarkable efficiency, water from the Lubi River is pumped against gravity uphill from more than two miles away.
• The water sourced from the river is collectively stored in an elevated tank before being redistributed to support the hospital and the neighboring community, used for general cleaning, laundry washing and bathing.
• The Multi-Stage Horizontal Centrifugal Pump is ideal for high pressure applications, common in situations where slope or extended pipeline affects pumping efficiency.
• Often a challenge for young girls, going to get water from the river at times prevents youth from attending school. With water more readily available, young girls have a better chance of learning.

鈥淲ith a commitment to give back to the communities in which we operate, our South African sales team has proudly supported Good Shepard Hospital and looks forward to our continued partnership in the future,鈥� says Johnson Pump Global Sales Director of Industry & Horticulture, Gerard Santema. 鈥淲hat some may see as a small donation, is making a major impact in delivering this precious resource to the community.鈥�

Johnson Pump, through its enduring commitment to innovation, reliability and social responsibility, continues to empower communities worldwide with reliable solutions for their water pumping needs.
