Hippo Water Roller
Grant Gibbs, Hippo Water Roller Project
The goal of the Hippo Water Roller is to make it easier to transport water over long distances in rural areas.
The Hippo Roller is a device used to transport up to 90 litres of water by rolling a barrel shaped container along the ground. Primarily deployed in rural Africa, it is designed to collect approximately 5 times more water than a traditional bucket and to withstand being transported across rough surfaces found in rural areas.
The product has been primarily distributed in rural Africa, however, the manufacturer aims to increase their global impact.
Partners with Hippo Roller establish local distribution points where the roller is required. The product can also be purchased directly from the manufacturer.
