"The Pink Power kehkeh initiative aims to establish a women-run transport service in Sierra Leone, providing cleaner and safer affordable transport, especially for women and other vulnerable passengers, contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities. The initiative will provide decent jobs for women trying to escape from the abusive sex industry in Freetown, contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.The estimated 26,000 women and girls in Sierra Leone's sex industry are trapped in a life violence and exploitation. They are forced into sex work because of poverty. 73% are orphans. 50% were raped before they were 14\. 74% started sex work as a child. Child and young adult sex workers die each week from HIV/AIDS, cold, bronchitis, pneumonia or violence. Men often demand sex without protection. They earn $1-3 per client and see up to ten a night. Much of their income is taken by pimps or stolen by clients.Pink Power is a women-run charity in Sierra Leone that provides safe accommodation, training and decent job opportunities for women and girls trying to escape from the sex industry. This project builds on one of their initiatives, a three-wheel autorickshaw, or ""kehkeh"" as they are known in Sierra Leone. Pink Power's kehkeh is painted pink and driven by women they support. It carries sexual health education material for passengers.Kehkeh's provide crucial affordable transport in Freetown. However, the market is unregulated, vehicles are poorly maintained and polluting, and women and vulnerable passengers risk sexual harassment, violence and theft. Kehkeh financing models are tried and tested in Sierra Leone. Our partners, 3B Impact and Brighter Horizons, are working with Pink Power to develop a self-sustaining financing model to buy a fleet of pink kehkeh.Mobile Power is a Sheffield-based battery technology company that specialises in low-cost battery rentals for developing country markets, including Sierra Leone. It is developing a battery system for kehkehs. Electric kehkeh, driven by Pink Power women, have the potential to provide safer transport for passengers and reduce local pollution. The battery system means that drivers can swap batteries at secure hubs rather which can improve safety and efficiency for drivers.The feasibility study will test:1. the feasibility of importing and operating and women-led electric kehkeh fleet in Freetown2. the financial model to scale the initiative, and3. how to address safety and security risks to female drivers."

“粉红力量 kehkeh 倡议旨在在塞拉利昂建立由女性经营的交通服务，提供更清洁、更安全、负担得起的交通，特别是为女性和其他弱势乘客，为可持续发展目标 11：可持续城市做出贡献。该倡议将提供体面的就业机会为试图逃离弗里敦虐待性性产业的妇女提供帮助，为可持续发展目标 8：体面工作和经济增长做出贡献。估计有 26,000 名塞拉利昂性产业中的妇女和女孩陷入生活暴力和73% 的人因贫困而被迫从事性工作，50% 的人在 14 岁之前就被强奸，74% 的儿童和青少年性工作者每周都会死于艾滋病毒/艾滋病。感冒、支气管炎、肺炎或暴力。他们每个顾客的收入为 1 至 3 美元，而他们的大部分收入都被皮条客拿走或被顾客偷走。慈善事业在塞拉利昂，该组织为试图逃离性行业的妇女和女孩提供安全的住宿、培训和体面的工作机会。该项目以他们的一项举措为基础，即三轮机动三轮车，在塞拉利昂被称为“kehkeh”。 Pink Power 的 kehkeh 被涂成粉红色，并由他们支持的女性推动。它为乘客提供性健康教育材料。Kehkeh's 在弗里敦提供重要的负担得起的交通。然而，市场不受监管，车辆维护不善且污染严重，女性和弱势乘客面临性骚扰、暴力和盗窃的风险。 Kehkeh 融资模式在塞拉利昂进行了尝试和测试。我们的合作伙伴 3B Impact 和 Brighter Horizo​​ns 正在与 Pink Power 合作开发一种自我维持的融资模式，用于购买一支粉色 kehkeh 车队。Mobile Power 是一家位于谢菲尔德的电池技术公司，专门从事低成本电池租赁，用于开发国家市场，包括塞拉利昂。它正在开发一种用于 kehkehs 的电池系统。由 Pink Power 女性驾驶的电动 kehkeh 有潜力为乘客提供更安全的交通并减少当地污染。电池系统意味着驾驶员可以在安全的中心更换电池，从而提高驾驶员的安全性和效率。可行性研究将测试：1。在弗里敦进口和运营由女性领导的电动 kehkeh 车队的可行性2。扩大该计划的财务模型，以及3。如何解决女司机的安全风险。”
