Shadows of Kindness — The Umbrella Project
No one should have to battle the scorching sun just to survive. Every summer, street vendors, rickshaw pullers and elderly labourers work long hours under a relentless sky.
Every summer
umbrella distribution
The problem
Outdoor workers cannot afford the simple luxury of shade — and pay for it with their health.
Our response
Each year we distribute sturdy, high-quality umbrellas — moving shelters and symbols of respect for people who spend their days outdoors.
Who we reach
Street vendors, rickshaw pullers, traffic volunteers and elderly labourers in Dhupguri.
How it works
Simple. Direct. Together.
- 01
Umbrellas are distributed in markets and along main roads before peak summer.
- 02
Priority to vendors, rickshaw pullers, traffic volunteers and elderly labourers.
