Transcripts
in just the USA over 150 million people
have limited Transportation that's
almost half the population and in even
poorer countries around the world lack
of transportation is even higher a year
ago when we found out about the shortage
of sanitary drinking water in Kenya we
distributed dozens of electric ebikes to
water delivery men who used to push
their heavily loaded bicycles over 10 Mi
around the city just to make $7 a day
with their new bikes they are now able
to do a lot more trips per day which
leads to significant iFly more income
for their
families and after seeing the profound
impact it had on the community we went
to our partners at electric ebikes to
see if they wanted to help us seeing how
they sponsored 13 of our peaceful A3
videos I don't think you'll be shocked
to hear that they donated
$600,000 worth of electric ebikes we
then asked you guys to nominate a person
you knew that was in need of
life-changing transportation and after
receiving thousands of videos of amazing
people in need we were so excited to
start giving them away hey this ebike
would change my life that will help me
and my husband so much we are kicking
off this massive giveaway right here in
North Carolina where Darren will give
away the first of over 600 Fikes this is
Maria a single mother of two children
who works for 14 hours a day washing
dishes only to send the little pay she
has back to her children in Guatemala

[Music]
years and on top of her long working
hours she still has to walk for Miles
every single day just to get to and from
work this is the first of hundreds of

Maria with an extra $5,000 in cash okay

[Music]

present Maria told us she donates
whatever she has left to feed poor kids
from her Village back home so on top of
the $5,000 we surprised her with an
additional
$7,000 so that she can help her Village
in Guatemala with this new bike Maria
can easily get to and from work in only
10 minutes not being able to get to work
or to get to school or to get to your
medical appointments it exacerbates the
problems that people face and it keeps
them trapped in the circumstances that
they are in now if you thought that was
special we still have 599 more to go
this is going to get crazy
no way yes it is
here it looks so good I went super far
thank you guys so
much now it was time to meet Conrad
every single day he walks a total of 4
hours just to get to working back I'm

know 80 hours a week but with me not
having transportation it's hard for me
to to even get 40 hours a week I want to
own my own business one day and with me
being able to have transportation it
would be easier to get to that goal of
owning my own business Conrad story is
just another example of the dire need
for
transportation
[Music]

Interfaith Refugee Center who have
dedicated their entire lives to support
thousands of refugees and provide them
with the Necessities they need to live a
normal life they've left their culture
they've left their language they've left
their families and we see them probably
at one of the lowest points of their
lives and despite their best efforts the
lack of transportation makes it
incredibly difficult for the refugees to
easily integrate into society they rely
on volunteers or staff to get to the
places they need to go r
