This is one of my favourite examples of how a billboard can be more than just a billboard.

Here’s how it works:

Children play on a merry-go-round type device that is connected to a well.

As the children play the device pumps water from the well.

The billboards connected to it help fund the cost. As a requirement two sides of the billboard are ads focused on social awareness such as getting tested for HIV.

That’s all there is to it. Simple. Effective.

I’ve presented this idea a few times in presentations and each time the audience paused and started clapping. Feel free to do the same but since you’re in front of a computer I also encourage you to learn more about PlayPumps.
