Transformation Through Transportation
Drive & Thrive and its ecosystem of partners are committed to helping individuals and families meet one of their most basic needs – reliable transportation. Having dependable transportation isn’t just about having a vehicle, it’s about making progress in quality of life by gaining better access to basic human needs like education, housing, and employment. Drive & Thrive and its partners are proud to help people earn vehicles through education and empowerment.
Drive
The number one reason for continued poverty is car-lessness. Reliable transportation is often the missing piece for families and individuals to step out of survivalistic routines and into thriving rhythms that can lead to an empowered life. Every thriving individual lives within an ecosystem:
Job
Employment opportunities and career development.
Community
Social networks and support systems.
Housing
Safe and stable living environments.
Finances
Economic stability and financial resources.
Education
Access to learning and skill development.
Health
Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
And lastly…
Transportation
Transportation is a powerful pillar of a family or individual’s well-being. Once empowered with an earned vehicle, Drive & Thrive and its partner network support people on their journey to ensure access to support systems, financial resources, skill development, and more.
