The practical and durable design of the HippoRoller enables more water to be transported more efficiently than traditional methods. The Hippo, with it’s large drum capacity of 90 litres / 24 gallons, frees women and children from having to spend a large portion of every day dedicated to collecting water for their households. Traditional methods of collecting water include carrying heavy 20 litre – 5 gallon buckets on the head. Over time these heavy loads place an enormous strain on the skeletal frame, causing long-term damage and premature ageing. This daily burden is significantly reduced by using appropriate technology like the Hippo Water Roller which is able to carry 4 times the amount of one bucket with less effort.
