Yemeni Taxi Appeal
Australia
Hi, my name is Megan, and I’m raising $5,000 to help my dear friend Shawki in Yemen purchase a van that he can convert into a taxi and use to support himself and his family.
Shawki is one of the kindest and most hardworking people I know. He lives in a region that has been devastated by years of war, economic collapse, and food insecurity. Jobs are scarce, aid is limited, and every day is a struggle to survive. Despite everything, Shawki never complains. He does everything he can to help others, even when he has very little himself.
Right now, Shawki has a powerful dream: to buy a van and start working as a taxi driver. This would give him the chance to earn a reliable income and build a better future—not just for himself, but for his loved ones and community too. It would mean independence, dignity, and the ability to provide food, medicine, and basic needs without relying on unpredictable aid.
Why a van?
It’s versatile: It can be used to transport people, deliver goods, or even act as a mobile shop. It’s sustainable: In a collapsing economy, having your own vehicle is one of the few ways to make consistent income. It’s a future: Shawki wants to build something he can pass on—something stable in a life that’s been anything but. $5,000 will cover:
The purchase of a reliable used van Licensing, registration, and any minor repairs needed Fuel and startup costs for the first few months We know the world is full of urgent needs. But this isn’t charity—it’s solidarity. Shawki isn’t asking for a handout. He’s asking for a chance to work, to build something real, and to move forward in one of the most difficult places on earth.
Please donate if you can. And if you can’t, sharing this campaign means the world to us. Together, we can help Shawki take the wheel of his own future.
Thank you for standing with us.
