Project Ubudtaxi: helping underprivileged drivers
Ubudtaxi is a project to help taxi drivers, who face poverty, because their income is not enough to support their families, due to the high rent of a car. Many drivers drive with a rented car. After paying the rent, not much is left over for their families.
Having their own car is for most of the drivers only a dream. This project started with Kadek (married and 1 daughter), driver in Ubud for some years. He rented a car from his neighbour. Kadek lost his job, when the neighbour sold his car, because he needed money. Kadek was reducing to poverty. Thanks to the project Ubudtaxi Kadek can continue his job as a taxi-driver. In the meantime he has become the face of Ubudtaxi.
Ubudtaxi is not a commercial project. All the profits are for the project Ubudtaxi, to pay the car and the salary for the driver. We are planning to recruit another driver, if we get enough orders.
Many orders for taxi rides come through this website.
We already do the transportation for 2 bungalow-ressorts in Ubud.
