The Problem

When Transport Becomes a Barrier to Life

In Pakistan's poorest communities, the cost of a rickshaw journey as little as a few hundred rupees can be the difference between attending a life-saving medical appointment and missing it entirely. For the elderly, the very ill, and mothers with young children, this is a daily reality.

The Free Rickshaw Service removes this barrier entirely. No money needed. No questions asked. Just safe transport to where people need to go, when they need to go there.

Who We Serve

Everyone Who Cannot Afford

to Get There

The Free Rickshaw Service prioritises those in genuine need vetted through community networks and our local field team.

Hospital Journeys

Emergency and scheduled hospital visits for patients who have no means of paying for transport to access the care they urgently need.

Medical Appointments

GP visits, specialist consultations, physiotherapy, dialysis, and other regular appointments that are missed when transport is unaffordable.

Elderly & Disabled

Prioritising Pakistan's elderly and physically disabled community members who face the greatest transport barriers and have the least access to support.

Mothers & Children

Mothers attending antenatal appointments, vaccination clinics, and child health visits — journeys that protect both maternal and child health.

Essential Services

"I couldn't afford to get to dialysis. Without the free rickshaw, I would have missed three sessions in one month. It quite literally kept me alive."
