MISSION

Visiting Sylhet, Bangladesh, we uncovered the severe lack of financial opportunities there and its resulting impact on families. Without stable income, these families must work for cruel employers who exploit them for their services.

Our goal is straightforward: to provide these families and young men with rickshaws, offering them a reliable permanent source of income and creating more opportunities for a better future.

KEY FACTS

According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, 2.23 million people live in the slums.

In 2014, a UNICEF report said that 5.6 million children aged 5-13 were not in school in Bangladesh due to financial reasons

The income earned from rickshaws support 1.5 million rickshaw pullers and their families directly
