Old Mutual Insure’s Community Trust has recognised a need to assist the elderly and child-headed households with water rollers.
A water roller is similar to a portable Jojo tank that can be used to fetch water and, because its capacity spans up to 90 litres, it is big enough to store a lot of water.

The portable tanks are great because instead of having to carry it on top of their heads, they only need to roll it like they’re pushing a shopping cart.
A total of 200 rollers were handed out to various homes. Israel Raphalalani from the Department of Water was the guest speaker and stressed the importance of water.
