The SOCCKET is aimed at thirdworld markets, helping children come together and their families gain access to reliable lighting.

THE Q DRUM
An astounding 750 million people are still unable to access clean drinking water, and those living in undeveloped countries who do have access must carry heavy buckets over their heads while walking significant lengths in unfavorable weather conditions. Research shows that this movement carries great risk of injury, as well as expends lots of energy, making the hunger problem even worse in areas where food is scarce. In an effort to conserve human energy and reduce the risk of injury, innovators developed a water transportation drum called The Q Drum, which is a large cylindrical water canister that rolls while being pulled by a rope. The drum holds up to 50 liters of clean drinking water and requires much less effort and time to transport than heavy buckets.
