第3071期:Electric motorcycles increase the income of rural women in Zimbabwe.

Aboard this custom adult-sized tricycle called the Hamba, village healthcare worker Pamhidzi Mutunya delivers medical care that may very well save lives.在这辆名为“Hamba”的定制成人三轮车里，乡村医护人员帕姆希齐·穆通亚(Pamhidzi Mutunya)运送着救命的医疗物资。The Hamba made it easier to take patients to and from the hospital.Hamba使接送病人往返医院变得更容易。Now fewer women give birth at home due to lack of transportation like it used to be.现在，由于不像过去那样缺乏交通工具，很少有女性在家分娩了。Mutunya drives an average of four people per day to a health clinic while also picking up medicine for others.穆通亚平均每天载四个人去诊所，同时也为其他人取药。She started using a Hamba last year and says women pay about fifteen dollars a month as a group to lease the ride.她去年开始驾驶Hamba，并提到女性们以团体形式每月支付大约十五美元的租用费。Hamba pilot coordinator Fadzai Mavhuna: Women in the rural areas carry the burden of carrying firewood, going to fetch water to drink and carrying school kids to school.Hamba调度者法德扎伊·马夫胡纳说：农村地区的妇女承担着搬运柴火、取饮用水以及送孩子上学的负担。So as Mobility for Africa, we saw that we need to lessen the burden on women.作为美力非洲组织，我们认识到需要减轻女性的负担。Transportation start-up Mobility for Africa runs the business side of the Hamba. Drivers say the service change their lives.交通初创企业“美力非洲”负责Hamba服务的业务运营。司机们表示，这项服务改变了他们的生活。We used to carry firewood on our heads for two kilometres. Now it's much easier as this tricycle has taken away the burden.我们过去常常头顶着柴火走两公里路。现在轻松多了，因为这辆三轮车帮我们减轻了负担。Reusable batteries charged by the sun power the Hamba and fuel it for one dollar or less. It has a cruising range of about a hundred kilometers.由太阳充电的可重复使用的电池为Hamba提供动力，其运行成本只需一美元或更少。它大约可以行驶一百公里。The project is targeted to rural women, so we have noticed that it's not everyone who can afford to buy it.该项目的目标群体是农村妇女，我们注意到并非每个人都买得起。So we are going to sell it to those who can afford to buy it. But at the same time, we will continually see.我们打算把它卖给那些买得起的人。但与此同时，我们会持续关注。Mobility for Africa is now in the second phase of its pilot project.美力非洲目前正处于其试点项目的第二阶段。The next step is going commercial where the Hamba will sell for 1,500 dollars.下一步是将其商业化，届时Hamba的售价将为1500美元。
