Everything we do here at the Institute for Affordable Transportation (IAT) in creating the Basic Utility Vehicle (BUV) we do for one reason: to provide hope.
We do is about providing hope; so the poor and isolated in Africa and beyond can live better lives. By providing for people, we help those in need but also ourselves and our faith in God. By providing hope for the poor and isolated, we can help them rise out of poverty, educate their children, and live comfortably and without danger.
We do this by creating rural transportation that’s durable, simple and pays for itself. A lack of usable roads is often a major cause of this poverty. People can’t get to medical care, deliver their food to the markets, or have aid delivered to them.
So we design and help others manufacture Basic Utility Vehicles (BUVs). This lets our partners and local entrepreneurs create their own way of life and provide for themselves and their community.
That is why we do what we do, and it’s how we do it.
