Travel Guide About:Index About:The Hippo Roller Challenge
The Hippo Roller Challenge is a wiki travel guide challenge designed to raise funds to buy hippo rollers for rural impoverished communities with limited access to water.

The hippo roller is a large drum that can hold 90 litres (24 gallons) of water and can be pushed along the ground, making it much easier to transport clean drinking water. It's a simple technology that has the capacity to make a huge difference in places where water is scarce.
For more information about hippo rollers, see the official website.
The way this challenge works is very simple: The more people contribute to our wiki travel guide, the more hippo rollers we will donate. There are six milestones along the way, and whenever we reach a milestone, we'll donate a designated number of hippo rollers. Here's how it breaks down:
The challenge will run from November 2 to February 28 March 31 (we've extended the challenge after some gentle arm-twisting from members:)). If we've reach 20 million characters in the wiki travel guide, we will have donated 63 hippo rollers! At US$ 105 each, that's a total donation of US$ 6615! You can check the current number of characters in the guide on the statistics page.
