Rotary Barrels

Giving Independence Back to the Elderly and Disabled

Rotary Barrels are rollable water containers that we provide to elderly and disabled people who have trouble collecting water.

Before Rotary Barrels are provided, many of these people survive on very little water each day because of the difficulty of carrying water. This often leaves them only with enough water for drinking and cooking. They often rarely bathe, can’t wash clothes, can’t clean their dishes properly, can’t wash their hands often enough, and end up ostracized from their community as a result.

With a Rotary Barrel, these ladies are able to gather enough water for all their daily needs. This gives back independence and improves their quality of life immediately upon receiving a barrel.

Each Barrel costs just $50. That’s a small price for the quality of life improvement that these afford to every recipient.
