Vision for Hippo Roller Projects |
 |
 |
Impoverished communities are the ones worst affected by the lack of adequate access to water and are most in need of the Hippo Water Roller. As they are generally not able to afford the roller, we recognized the need for rollers to be subsidized.
Community based projects are initiated where the rollers are handed over to communities which have inadequate access to water throughout Southern Africa. These communities contribute financially as they are able, and are also responsible for the sustainability of the project.
The Hippo Water Rollers provide a flexible infrastructure for these communities to access a variety of water points and address the incredible hardships endured in carrying out this never-ending menial task.
The project also forms a basis for many other capacity building initiatives to be introduced into these communities since water, time and energy are no longer a limitation. Approximately 10 000 communities throughout Southern Africa (15 million people) are currently without adequate access to water.
