THE BACKGROUND:
In remote villages surrounding of Punjab, the lack of local transportation options presents a significant barrier for girls attending schools.
The considerable distance between their residences and the school exacerbates the issue, as they cannot access education. As a result, many girls face challenges in regularly attending school due to transportation constraints.
THE SOLUTION:
My classmates and I have found a solution to address the transportation challenges girls face by providing them with bicycles free of charge.
These bicycles, sourced from Nova Bicycle Industries in Janta Nagar, Ludhiana, are of the NOVA brand, with specifications tailored for commuting purposes.
Each bicycle, with an average cost of around INR 4000 will be distributed to 80 girls from villages such as Jalandhar and Kartopur
By providing bicycles to these girls, the initiative aims to empower them with a means of transportation to overcome the distance barrier and facilitate their regular attendance at school.
EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE YOU WILL HELP:
The assurance of responsible use has been obtained from both the school principal and the parents of the beneficiaries, ensuring that the bicycles are utilized and will not be misused. This addresses the immediate transportation issue but also contributes to enhancing the educational opportunities and empowerment of girls in remote villages.

ABOUT ME:
My name is YOHAAN MARDA. I am a Grade 10 student at The Doon School, Dehradun. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of girls - particularly those facing challenges in getting to their school as they have to walk long distances in rural Punjab.
My friends and I are focussed on addressing this challenge, faced by girls in villages of Punjab. Many girls struggle to attend school because of the considerable distance from their homes and the lack of local transportation options.
To help these girls, we have launched a campaign to provide them with bicycles. These bicycles, sourced from Nova Bicycle Industries in Janta Nagar, Ludhiana, are of the NOVA brand. Each bicycle costs approximately INR 4000.
Through this initiative, we aim to empower 80 girls from villages such as Jalandhar and Kapurthala with a means of transportation. If we collect more funds we will help more girls.
Together, let's make a lasting impact by ensuring that every girl can access education without facing transportation constraints.

How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
