There are many opportunities to provide services to the community. Sometimes a small business requires the purchase of equipment, such as a sewing machine for a tailoring business, or when there is a male strong enough to be a rickshaw driver, a family, or several families, might purchase a rickshaw and share the work and profits. This gives several people the ability to work by sharing the same vehicle.
