The Hippo roller is built for solving water scarcity. It can be filled with water which is then pushed or pulled using a handle. The weight of the water is spread evenly so a full drum carries almost five times more than traditional containers. Its total weight is about 20kg. This allows it to be transported faster.

M-Pepea sends a special generated pin code to be used in cash machines. This service has been running for almost 8 years now. Money can also be collected at any branch of Safaricom, one of Kenya's largest mobile phone operators, and then deducted from the borrower's pay packet at the end of the month. M-Pepea charges around 10% interest rates on the loans, which are paid in full at the end of the month.
