CHANGE LIVES

JUST add

WATER90 litre capacity moves 5 times more water on the ground90L

More time for education, economic prosperity & improved health

One Hippo Roller serves a household average of 7 people

Low to zero maintenance design for tough rural conditions

More efficient with an effective weight of just 10 kg on level ground

THE PROBLEM

the WATERC R I S I S

Up to 6 hours a day spent collecting water

Up to 75 kilograms of water hauled daily per household

Collectively, women & girls spend 200 million hours a day collecting water

- UN Water 2015

Up to 6 kilometers walked daily over difficult terrain for water

THE STRUGGLE

WOMANand WATER

Of the water collected for homes in Africa is done by women90%

Nearly 17 million women & girls in Africa collect water every day

Carried on the head causes premature ageing of the spine

Collecting water increases exposure to sexual abuse, disease & environmental dangers

Time is lost for household tasks, growing crops, & pursuing economic opportunities

THE BURDEN

Y O U T H and WATER

Around 3 million children collect water in sub-Saharan Africa every day3M- PLoS ONE 2016

Education is compromised due to the time spent collecting water for their families

No time to play - which is a crucial part of childhood development

Lack of access to safe water exposes children to potentially deadly diseases

Walking long distances for water leaves children vulnerable, endangering their lives

THE SOLUTION

S IMPLE I D E A S

Proven over 25 years as a smarter way to move & store water25Y

Countries reached with the largest impact in sub-Saharan Africa.

Around 500,000 direct beneficiaries & many more indirect benefits

55,000 Hippo Rollers distributed across the entire globe

5 to 7 year average lifespan, often lasting 10 years or more

THE BENEFITS

FARMING and WATER

Nearly 60% of small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are women

Small-scale farmers produce around 70% of the worlds food demand

Improved irrigation produces better crops & increases income potential for farmers in SSA

Easily move & store water for more efficient use of labour resources saving time & energy

The Hippo Roller is a cost effective tool for irrigation & small-scale farming needs

A wide rolling surface protects pathways from soil erosion caused by narrow wheelbarrows

THE BENEFITS

A Hippo Roller replaces at least four 25l plastic containers every year1:4

Alternative re-uses include feeding troughs; storage bins; bath tubs for children & washing

The plastic used is too valuable to be thrown away, reducing our plastic footprint

Multi-use plastic: ensuring an extended lifespan long after its use for collecting water

ENVIRONMENT

Page 9: Simple ideas. Changing lives - Hippo Roller - Simple ideas...promoting smarter use of plastic RESPONSIBLE The re-use of a Hippo Roller can extend its life to 20 years or more Reports

The plastic used is 100% reusable & recyclable promoting smarter use of plastic

RESPONSIBLE

The re-use of a Hippo Roller can extend its life to 20 years or more

Reports show some Hippo Rollers lasting up to 10 years or longer

The durable plastic can be re-purposed for an array of other uses

PLASTIC USE

180 PET Bottles = 1 Hippo Roller180 PET Bottles = 1 Hippo Roller 180 PET Bottles = 1 Hippo Roller

Think reusable, not disposable, refuse single-use plastics & reduce your plastic footprint

The reusable Hippo Roller removes the need for single-use & disposable plastics, reducing the devastating impact on our environment

Built from FDA approved material that is safe for water and foodFDA

The irrigation cap promotes the re-use of universally available used soda bottle caps

The plastic drum is too valuable to be thrown away, encouraging re-use & recycling
