Purpose & Need
The temple and surrounding area lack safe, affordable last-mile transport. Simultaneously, women in the local community have limited livelihood opportunities. This project addresses both by training women to operate electric vehicles as a sustainable micro-enterprise.
What the Project Does
Procures electric vehicles (e-rickshaws or e-carts) and provides training, licensing support, and operational infrastructure for women-led transport services around the temple campus and nearby areas. Includes a charging infrastructure component.
ESG Impact
E: Zero-emission transport replacing auto-rickshaws. S: Women's economic empowerment and community mobility. G: Vehicle utilisation and income data published quarterly.
CSR Opportunity
High-impact project for CSR themes around women's empowerment, green mobility, or rural livelihoods. Vehicle-level sponsorship available. Naming on vehicles.
Beneficiaries
Women entrepreneurs who gain livelihoods, and the broader community who gain affordable, clean transport.
Transparency & Accountability
Vehicle procurement, training records, and quarterly income data for operators will be published. Impact reports produced annually.
Project execution by Xylem Foundations. All funds are managed under the Foundation's governance framework.
Green mobility and women's empowerment are two sides of the same coin. When we put an electric vehicle in the hands of a woman from our community, we change two futures at once.
