March: 350 rollers handed over to 8 communities in the Eastern Cape

350 Hippo water rollers were handed over to 8 communities in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, at the end of March 2012. We covered more than 2000 km’s in order to reach these communities, many times traveling difficult terrain at less than 10 km/h.

The story of the lone Nedbank roller in the Eastern Cape

Remote village shares a single Hippo roller

We found this Nedbank roller (photo above) in a remote village of the Eastern Cape.

A local leader explained to us that the single Hippo roller is owned and shared by the whole community.

We found it heartening to see how big a difference one roller can make to dozens of households in one village.
