The Rolling Water Bucket: A Simple Idea That Changes Lives

The HippoRoller is a simple idea that allows better access to drinking water. Carrying heavy 25 liter buckets of water several times a day is extremely difficult for the young, the elderly and the disabled. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accentuated these inequalities. HippoRoller technology makes it easier to transport up to 90 liters at a time and to access multiple water points depending on their availability. 560 people around the world benefit from 65,000 hippo rollers in 56 countries, which represent 2 billion liters of water transported per year.

The introduction of HippoRoller in primary schools supported by the World Food Program has dramatically reduced the daily burden for thousands of women and children.

Companies can strengthen their brand image by partnering with the Hippo Roller.
