Project Description

Our mobile tea stall is an innovative project that reimagines traditional paddle rickshaws as mobile tea stalls. This concept provides a lifeline for elderly or sick individuals who often struggle with physically demanding jobs and deteriorating health. By converting these rickshaws into mobile tea stalls, we offer an accessible, affordable, and user-friendly way to earn a living. The redesigned rickshaw features an ergonomic tea brewing station, ample storage for tea leaves, sugar, and other essentials, as well as a sturdy counter for serving customers. The vibrant colors, intricate designs, and traditional Bangladeshi motifs adorning the stall create an eye-catching appeal that draws in customers. The use of eco-friendly materials for construction and packaging promotes sustainability and environmental responsibility. The modified rickshaw will showcase traditional rickshaw art, a part of UNESCO World Heritage, blending cultural heritage with modem utility. 

Incorporating safety and comfort into the design, the mobile tea stall is equipped with a comfortable seating arrangement for the operator. This project addresses the socio-economic challenges faced by aged and ailing individuals who rely on strenuous labor to make ends meet. By providing an alternative means of livelihood, the tea stall aims to improve their quality of life, ensuring they can earn a living without compromising their health. The project's slogan, "Bringing warmth and comfort to every corner -Tea Stall: Your Neighborhood's Rolling Café," encapsulates its essence and appeal. This blend of tradition and innovation fosters health, sustainability, and community spirit, allowing everyone to thrive.
