Social – Extensive amounts of time and energy is saved which can now be directed to other important household tasks. Even men, who consider collecting water a menial task, are proud of the technology and have started collecting water using the Hipporoller.
-
Health – More water means a better quality of life through increased hygiene and cleanliness resulting in fewer medical problems. Rolling rather than carrying heavy buckets of water reduces the strain on the skeletal frame reducing the possibilities of physical injury.
-
Economic – More time, energy and better health are important ingredients for improved productivity, food production and income generation. Due to media attention and attendance of local government officials at the Hippo roller handover ceremonies, the community is placed “on the map” resulting in other needs being addressed.
The Hippo water roller brings more than just improved access to water!
