Women for a Greener Future: Aiming to creates pathways to electric mobility by promoting EVs and gender equality

Every morning, Samjhana Majhi travels from Lokanthali to Naxal. Reaching there she picks up the delivery bag and rides her cycle to make food deliveries across the Kathmandu valley. Some days she rides her cycle from Gaushala to the Baneshwor area while other days she is seen going around in New Road and Thamel area. But she does all this carrying the bag on her shoulders and peddling relentlessly to reach places.

This 25-year-old food delivery rider has been working in Foodmandu for the past six months and that is her everyday routine. Recently, she came across a new initiative that could help her get an electric scooter and if everything goes well, Majhi is excited to make her deliveries on a brand new scooter, that she will own.
