Why donate a Pakistan Rickshaw - Livelihood Empowerment?

Give a breadwinner the tools to earn with dignity. Your donation funds a brand-new passenger rickshaw (motorbike + covered carriage) for a flood-affected or ultra-low-income family in Pakistan. With immediate earning potential from school runs, market trips, and local transport, one rickshaw can lift a whole household - covering rent, food, medicines, and school fees from their own work. This is sustainable empowerment, not a one-off handout.

What your gift provides

  • New passenger rickshaw with weather cover & seating
  • Registration, safety kit, and initial fuel/servicing to start trading
  • Basic business guidance (fares, routes, maintenance)
  • Ongoing monitoring & support to help the business sustain

Keep their reward alive

Many donors give in memory of a loved one. We honour that trust with scheduled checks and repairs, ensuring their name and your Sadaqah continues to serve every day.

What our donors say

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I dedicated a water system for my late grandfather. We got photos of the water well, a short video showing people making dua for him. It meant so much.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I never thought about the servicing of a water system. Sadaqah only goes whilst water is flowing and benefiting. I'm happy I chose POL.

    We chose this charity because nothing is shaved off the donation. Gift Aid is used for the back office. You don't see that nowadays.

FAQ

Do you take money from my donation?

No. We operate as 100% donations policy charity. Your donations fund your chosen projects entirely.

Our running costs are covered separately through Gift Aid, so if you’re a UK taxpayer, please tick the Gift Aid box at checkout to add 25% at no extra cost. This allows us to cover admin, marketing, staff etc through Gift Aid, not your donation.

Can we use Gift Aid for projects?

Yes, UK taxpayers can add Gift Aid. Gift Aid is a government top-up for the charity’s general running costs (admin, safeguarding, monitoring & evaluation, compliance). It helps us deliver and maintain projects but more importantly allows us to function as a 100% donation charity.

Do you provide aftercare and maintenance?

We aim to support aftercare (training committees, providing basic spares, periodic checks), but long-term sustainability relies on community stewardship. If we do everything indefinitely, local ownership can weaken so we balance support with training and handover.

Can I give as Zakat?

Yes, look for items marked Zakat-eligible. We allocate Zakat to eligible recipients in line with Islamic guidance. If unsure, give as Sadaqah or ask your scholar.
