Bike Riders Relief
In 2025, Tooba Foundation implemented the Bike Repairing Project to support low-income individuals and daily wage earners who rely heavily on motorcycles for their daily transportation and livelihood. In areas such as Orangi Town, motorcycles are often the only affordable means of commuting to work, running small businesses, or earning daily wages. Recognizing this critical need, Tooba Foundation launched this initiative to ensure that mechanical issues do not interrupt income generation.
Project Objectives
- To reduce the financial burden of motorcycle repairs for low-income families
- To support uninterrupted income generation for daily wage earners
- To promote dignity, self-reliance, and economic stability
Key Features of the Program
- A total of 1,982 motorcycles were repaired under this initiative.
- The project followed a highly subsidized and beneficiary-friendly model.
- For repairs costing up to PKR 5,000, beneficiaries contributed only PKR 1,000, while Tooba Foundation covered the remaining cost.
- For repairs ranging between PKR 5,000 and PKR 10,000, beneficiaries paid PKR 4,000, with additional support provided by the Foundation.
- Priority was given to individuals whose livelihoods were directly dependent on their motorcycles.
- Repairs were completed promptly to minimize work disruption.
How the Project Works
Beneficiaries submit a request or are identified through community verification.
Eligibility is assessed based on income level and dependency on the motorcycle for livelihood.
Approved motorcycles are sent to partnered workshops for inspection and repair.
Beneficiaries pay their subsidized share, while Tooba Foundation covers the remaining cost.
Repaired motorcycles are returned promptly, allowing beneficiaries to resume work without delay.
Impact
The project significantly reduced repair costs for beneficiaries who could not afford mechanical services. It helped prevent income loss, improved daily mobility, and supported household financial stability. Timely repairs enabled many families to continue earning consistently and with confidence.
Conclusion
The Bike Repairing Project – 2025 highlights how targeted, practical interventions can create meaningful economic impact. By restoring mobility and reducing financial stress, Tooba Foundation strengthened livelihoods and promoted dignity within vulnerable communities.
