RIDE is proud to announce the expansion of our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) program by offering free 24/7 transportation for mothers in labor to hospitals. This life- saving initiative strengthens our commitment to community care and support across all our service areas.

Our drivers are always ready to assist, ensuring mothers and their families can reach medical care in time. The initiative is part of RIDE’s strategic focus on combining our transportation services with meaningful community support. These actions highlight how we strive not just to serve, but to care-by being there for our communities’ at the most critical times. This initiative has already saved lives, creating trust and stronger bonds with the people we serve for the last 10 years.

A Baby Named “RIDE” – A Story of Hope

In an incredible moment, one of our TRIPS turned into a delivery room when a baby was born during a RIDE trip to the nearby hospital! The healthy baby boy was lovingly nicknamed “RIDE” in honor of the service that brought him safely into the world.

This touching story symbolizes the depth of our connection with the community. It reminds us that RIDE is not just an electronic transport-sharing plat- form; it’s a lifeline and a trusted partner in the every- day lives of Ethiopians.

“RIDE’s free transport service gave me a safe way to reach the hospital. I’ll always remember their help in that crucial moment!” – A grateful mother in Addis Ababa

Our impact has not gone unnoticed. In a recent Tech Talk interview on EBS Television, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister recognized RIDE as the country’s first Unicorn startup.
