-how and where are the vehicles being distributed? If there’s a goal to get these to a specific community or set of communities that would be great to know.
Again, great idea, I’d love to support. Contributing $ is preferable for me, and I’d love to know where this will help.

Great questions!
WHERE:
Most end up going to Africa. There is a micro factory in Tanzania (Factory Partner: Please see
www.BUVTanzania.com or Facebook/BUVTanzania), but obviously vehicles are being built here in Indianapolis as well and shipped.
The idea behind the micro-factories is that it allows a local entrepreneur to start a business that not just improves his/her standard of living, but also has a positive impact on their larger community. Details on current African nations being services can be found here:
http://www.drivebuv.org/where-we-work. If you know of a specific need somewhere, please get in touch with Will Austin at the contact information in the opening post so options for getting a BUV there can be discussed and coordinated.
DONATE $$$
There are several different ways to donate through the DriveBUV.org website. This uses PayPal and will allow your funds to go straight to the non-profit and bring the best bang for your buck.
