The Rickshawalas are driving their own brand new rickshaws in teams of three, covering a distance of over 1800km over 14 days across North West India to raise awareness for CAREducation Trust.We will drive through the rural villages of Gujarat, across the deserts of Rajasthan, up to the hilly terrain of the Himalayas. Starting from the first CARE project in Bhuj ending at the most recent in Manali.CAREducation Trust UK (CARE) was founded in 1997 to support a cause that all individuals can empathise with. Its objective is simple; bettering the lives of children through education. There are over 70 million children that do not go to school worldwide and at least half of these live in India and Africa in absolute poverty. Without this support many children would be destitute and would be forced to continue their lives in poverty and illiteracy. CARE opens the door to opportunities to break this circle of deprivation and change their futures.CARE focuses on one of the UN Millennium Development Goals, of ensuring by the year 2015 children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.Not all children are born with the same opportunities; CARE gets involved at the grassroots level to improve the lives of such vulnerable children. CARE strongly believes in equipping impoverished children with tools such as education and/or a vocational training, to provide them the opportunity of a self-sufficient improved quality of life.
