Following our fund-and-deliver Hippo Roller trip to South Africa, the new San Francisco chapter of Project H is taking the reins and re-designing the Hippo Roller for improved shipping efficiency for wider distribution and a lower price point. In partnership with the Appropriate Technologies Design Team/Engineers Without Borders, we’ll work with Hippo Roller to find design and engineering opportunities that will make the Hippo Roller more widely manufacturable, less expensive, and potentially more functional with additional attachments.

If you’re interested in joining the Project H San Francisco chapter, we want your design expertise! Come to our next meeting July 21st at 7pm. Please email Ryan Duke, SF Chapter Head, for details: ryan@projecthdesign.com.
