Description:
Hope / Mobility platform to improve the well-being of disadvantaged people.
A preliminary estimate of 2021 incorporating current social, environmental, and economic problems estimates that it will place around 715 million people into extreme poverty worldwide, equivalent to 9.5% of the world’s population.
In México, an estimated 62 million people (49% of the population) live in poverty, which prevents them from accessing basic services to lead a well-being life.
The most pronounced gaps in indigenous and vulnerable populations relate to the difficulty in accessing mobility services that enable them to carry out activities associated with education, access to social security, and basic housing and health services.
Food, education, and health services are some of the needs that this vulnerable population demands expeditiously because due to the characteristics of geographical areas and weather conditions access to mobility in an agile and practical way is not feasible.
Recognizing mobility as a human right that every person should have access to regardless of their condition or type of transport, a possible solution has been created to help people overcome the problems associated with the disadvantages of vulnerability, because the living conditions of vulnerable people are not unique to México, our proposal can be implemented in different latitudes to address similar problems around the world.
The HOPE mobility platform aims is to provide a service to meet primary needs through multifunctional modules that reach vulnerable geographic areas to primarily promote education and health, as well as serve as a rescue center covering primary needs for the population in the event of natural disasters.
Being a modular vehicle, with the ground and air aid, by means of drones, it has great potential to integrate this whole range of services. The Hope vehicle will benefit areas by improving access to education, integrating safety, health, and well-being.
