By Deepak Kumar | Chairperson
Dear Friends and Supporters ,
I am Deepak Kumar - Chairperson for People First and I hope this update finds all of you and your families well. You certainly have responded so generously to our Green Riders appeal and I have pleasure in including pictures of some new rickshaws being donated to extremely poor families living below the poverty line.
A chance to earn money for themselves brings with dignity and a sense of self worth, but they could not afford to buy a rickshaw for themselves ,and do not have the ability to get bank loans. Hiring a rickshaw means an amount had to be paid daily to the rickshaw owner, irrespective of what they earned that particular day .
So thank you for improving the lives of these families and helping to lift them from abject poverty .
As one of the new owners said, "This will make a big difference , when you are on the margins and with the cost of everything increasing all the time, especially vegetables, every extra rupee we can earn for our family is so important.
Thank you for helping us to improve our families income".
"We really really need it so much"
With Thanks again,
Deepak
