OUR STORIES
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.
