Project H is sponsoring 50 Hippo Rollers for a series of 17 villages in Kgautswane in northeastern South Africa. Hippo Rollers are barrel devices that allow people to safely and efficiently access and transport water. The roller holds 3-4 days worth of water for a family of seven, about five times the amount of water that can be moved using traditional methods. Thus, families that would otherwise spend the majority of their time transporting water can spend more time educating themselves and improving their economic situation.
