Various internal and external studies have been performed regarding the impact of KickStart’s MoneyMaker pumps (both the Hip and Max pump). These did not specifically measure the pumps’ performances, but instead measured their impact. Findings included that “93% of women reported feeling empowered as a result of owning and using a pump” (US State Department), “On average, families doubled their overall household income from $2,565 to $5,240 in just 12 months” (US State Department), “Women with pumps were 50% less likely to be underweight” (Cornell University), “Pump users increased income from irrigation by 10 times” (UCSF HIV STUDY) and “170% more farmers can
afford and are using improved seeds” (Rockefeller Foundation).

Injury is possible with moving foot pedals.
