Asha (Hope for Living) - Donation of a cycle rickshaw or sewing machine for a poor villager as a livelihood option

To create a sustainable livelihood for the poor, rural migrant labourers, and to help them to become self-employed by giving them a cycle rickshaw to men or sewing machine to women. Team Kolorob selects people living below the poverty line who cannot afford two square meals in a day.

Any unemployed rural worker irrespective of men or women who is desperate to earn but not getting anything we are there to help him or her either by giving a cycle rickshaw or a sweing maching. Since village roads are narrow, cycle rickshaws become the most convenient mode of transport. Women villagers are adept at running sewing machines. Therefore it helps the beneficiaries earn up to Rs. 150 - 200/- (2-3$) per day and approximately Rs. 5000/- (70-80$) per month. This income can significantly alter the standard of living for their families. The staff and volunteers choose the beneficiaries after proper inspection with the help of the villagers and the village Panchayat’s recommendation.

With a scope of minimum earning they can move forward in their lives.
