Ride for a cause
The next time the road calls out to you to pay it a visit, you can choose to change someone’s life in the process. Let every moment you take in the wind in your hair, the landscape left behind and the beckoning horizon, count for a greater good. Pledge your ride for a cause. Pick a cause you believe in below. Inspire your friends, family and others like yourself to join you and help you in raising funds and reaching your target. Be it Cycling or riding your Motorcycle across borders, make it count.
Let your tete-a-tete with the road bring you back with a sense of immense pride. Restoring another human being’s sense of pride, self sufficiency and financial independence is a very big deal. Go ahead. Ride the way you love to, while inspiring others. Be the change you want to see.
About Milaap
Milaap was initiated in June 2010, by three passionate young entrepreneurs who had a single vision, to change people's concept of giving and make it a personal, transparent and sustainable process. By crowd-sourcing loans for social causes, Milaap enables the urban global citizen to make an impact in a small but accountable way. You can choose a person you want to help, make a returnable contribution for as little as $25 and watch the magic ensue. The end borrowers are the deserving, working poor of India, students, small businesses, families who need a small amount of capital to get ahead and change their lives for the better.

"Many people in rural India need to walk huge distances for water. This year, on my birthday, I took part in a cyclathon instead of having a Birthday party! My aim was to raise INR 50,000 to bring piped water connections to 10 families in Tamil Nadu. My friends and supporters lent money and helped me fulfil my goal for my cause."

"I was overworked, heartbroken and faced rejection for my applications. So, I decided to cycle from Manali to Khardung La. This solution might not seem very logical but then, I am a huge fan of Steven Spielberg. Through this expedition I aim to raise funds to get ten families access to piped water connections through Milaap."

"My goal is to ride 5000KM between June and December, raise funds for education and rural entrepreneurs across India and complete the tour without any incidents and stay in the top 20 timings for competitive sections. It is great motivation to keep fit, both mentally and physically, through the year just to battle those 9 days"
