Stories of Change

HONEY BUNNY
SCHOOL BUS

Old Delhi is a very busy place. There are rickshaws, motorbikes, tuk-tuks, cars, and pedestrians—all trying to share the road at the same time. As a result, traffic can be chaotic and dangerous. Too dangerous for children to navigate that traffic to walk to school. So Principal Farah Diba knew she had to help.

Because the alleys of Old Delhi are so narrow, a regular school bus could not reach her school. But rickshaws could. So Farah decided to transform rickshaws into small covered school buses for her students. Now, they can ride to and from school safely. Plus the students think they are fun to ride.

JUGAAR

In Hindi, Jugaar means to “make do.” It’s a sentiment that means you can come up with an innovative fix to your problem. And that’s just what these mechanics do.

They build Jugaads. They use scraps from old bicycles, motor bikes, and old wood to assemble new bikes that meet specific needs for their customers.
