In a community where few people have cars, Kevin Odwar saw an opportunity to use his motorbike to get people where they need to go. But he wasn’t sure how to get customers to find his taxi service, or how to manage his income once they did.

Through HP LIFE training, Kevin learned valuable skills that help him track his profits and losses. And, he learned how to build a successful Facebook page so customers can now easily find him.

Kevin dreams of adding five more motorbikes to his growing business and he plans to employ young people looking to improve their lives to do the driving. 

Kevin is one of five Global South entrepreneurs that was nominated for an HP LIFE entrepreneurship award in 2013. Please view the other four entrepreneur stories featured at www.globalcitizen.org/hplife. By sharing these inspiring stories with others, you can earn 2 Global Citizen points.
