Rickshaws For India

PeopleAids – Rickshaws For India program busts the shackles of poverty that keep poor Indian families bound, and gives them the means to self-sufficiency and dignity. It is a program that has outstanding results as thousands of families have now been set free by receiving sponsored Rickshaws.

In India, Rickshaws are a major mode of taxi transportation for people taking short journeys. Those going to and from work and school, shoppers and business people all ride on Rickshaws. They are also used for moving goods and courier jobs. The government promotes their use as they are non-polluting.

Therefore sponsoring a Rickshaw enables an Indian family to have a debt free, good income producing small business that permanently supports them. This provides food, housing, clothing, healthcare, and a proper education for their children.

These families are just so grateful for their new Rickshaws and the better life they provide. Things that we take for granted they are now able to obtain. When being given their new Rickshaws many cry with joy. Hope floods into their lives as they are liberated.

For most of them it is the first time in their lives that they can eat every day. They can choose to live in a community with clean water and sanitation instead of in the squalid, disease-ridden slums. Rather than the children being forced to work in dangerous sweat shops, they can go to school. They are able to afford adequate clothing and buy necessities like soap and toothbrushes. For once they have the possibility of saving some money rather than merely surviving day to day.
