How We Work

We provide BUVs to missionaries, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations and we also seek to partner with business people abroad in order to start BUV factories. With BUV micro-factories in-country, we encourage local production to create jobs that support families. IAT manages the research and development for the vehicle’s design and acts as the connector between willing supporters and foreign churches, missionaries, and NGOs that need BUVs to supplement their work in the developing world.

Our approach involves working with local partners and equipping them with the technology they need to support a BUV or micro-factory. We know that if we continue to offer the technology at a low cost, the free market system will allow current business owners to experience profitability with BUV-related business. We seek to partner with people that share our values and business principles, and those people are often identified by churches and mission organizations that know the local people on a personal level.

The common saying “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” ties into IAT’s goal to instigate sustainable progress in the developing world.
