Africa's children chores made lighter means a better life. by tjanssen

According to a study in rural areas in South Africa surveying 1,052 children in 366 households, water carrying ranked as the most time-consuming of household chores for children.

In average, a child spent just under 16 hours a week hauling water from the nearest water source to their homes.

Q-Drum came up with the solution: A 50 liter Linear Low Density Polyethylene drum that can be pulled or rolled by kids. The drum is tough, surviving 3 metre drop-test filled with water, resisting a load test up to 3,7 tons.
