Rickshaw Project In Bangladesh
Bangladesh is synonymous for two types of public transport, one is “baby taxi” and the other is a “Rickshaw”. However, Rickshaw is more well-known then that of the former. And this is the most used transport whether in the cities or villages. Therefore, it is the most environmentally friendly transport available. A rickshaw is a three-wheeled, manually peddled vehicle which does not require any fuel to run. Dhaka’s rickshaws carry more passengers daily than the famous London Underground. It is common for the rickshaw drivers to be renting the vehicle and after paying the rent they have very little to take home to support their families. They just about make ends meet as result. G&Y Rickshaw project is to help those men to have their own rickshaws. This will enable them to firstly, have their independency and also be able to use all their earnings on the needs of the family i.e. food, clothing, education of children.
G&Y to date have provided more than 470 Rickshaws to the poor and needy drivers around Bangladesh. The cost of a rickshaw is £250. Our hope is to support families towards a successful pathway by which they can move out of poverty. Our aim is to distribute 600 rickshaws to families in the slums of Bangladesh by 2025.
Rickshaw Project Moulvibazar
In order to support my family I was required to rent a Rickshaw, which was always a struggle as half of the earnings would be handed to the owner for the rental. G&Y has lightened my burden by giving me a Rickshaw, now I can keep all the earnings for me and my family.
Rickhsaw Project Moulvibazar
Handing over 50% of my daily wage to the owner of the Rickshaw was hard to accept but had little choice. Alhamdulillah, after receiving a Rickshaw and total ownership from G&Y, I can now keep all the earnings for me and my family.
