USA Solar-Powered Scooter Profits Fund Bangladesh Relief: Initiative Announced

Oct 20, 2026

Lotus Ministry Trust has announced a solar-powered scooter investment model that sets aside 5 to 20 percent of net profits for relief work. Investors and manufacturers can fund meals, blankets, and education in northern Bangladesh.

San Francisco, United States, October 20, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Lotus Ministry Trust recently announced an investment and profit-sharing opportunity built around American-made solar-powered scooters, linking clean transport production to humanitarian relief in northern Bangladesh. Under the model, investors and manufacturing partners commit a set share of scooter profits to the organization’s food, clothing, and education programs.

The newly announced investment model available through Lotus Ministry Trust sets aside a defined percentage of net profit per unit, typically between 5 and 20 percent, and contractually commits it to the humanitarian partner before revenue is recognized. Funds are transferred at least quarterly into Lotus Ministry Trust’s field operations budget. Impact reporting on meals delivered, blankets distributed, and families served then flows back to the production partner, which gives investors and buyers a documented record of where the money went. The approach aligns with a report from the International Rescue Committee on multi-year flexible funding, which found that multi-year funding can lead to notable cost-efficiency gains and can make aid program delivery more effective through predictable funding sources.

Lotus Ministry Trust's team points to several revenue streams for solar-powered scooter production beyond direct unit sales. These include service contracts, accessory sales, and fleet partnerships with urban delivery companies and campus mobility programs. They also highlight advantages of domestic production, such as lower shipping costs, faster quality control cycles, and access to supply chain incentives under federal clean energy policy. A further look at the organization’s relief work is available at https://www.lotus-ministry.org/post/solar-scooter-production-profits-can-boost-bangladesh-humanitarian-relief

On the environmental side, the organization frames the solar-powered scooter as a practical option for renewable energy commuting and carbon footprint reduction. The team says built-in photovoltaic charging extends battery range and reduces how often riders need to plug into the grid, which lowers lifetime operating costs for owners.

Lotus Ministry Trust was founded by inventor Jeffrey Dunan, whose solar-powered motorcycle was featured in a 1979 newspaper article. Since 2021, the organization has delivered vegetarian meals, warm clothing, blankets, and educational resources to remote villages in northern Bangladesh. Distribution is carried out by trained local volunteer teams, with the Rajshahi division at the core of its field operations.

Eala eyes strong 2026 season finish at HK Open

PHILIPPINE tennis trailblazer Alexandra "Alex" Eala seeks a strong finish to her 2026 season at the WTA 250 Hong Kong Open in China. Following a breakthrough quarterfinal finish at the 500 Tokyo Open in Japan, Eala flies to Hong Kong for its tournament which will run from Nov. 2 to 8. World No. 19 Eala fell to No. 13 Diana Shnaider in a hard-fought Tokyo Open quarterfinal, 6-2, 6(5)-7, 4-6, on Friday. Eala has been having a historic season with a fourth-round finish at Wimbledon last July, a maiden WTA title at DC Open last August and a career-high rank No. 18 first achieved in the same month. The 21-year-old has not been as sharp this Asian Swing, though, with a 3-win and 4-loss record. Those losses included upsets at the hands of world No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova at Singapore Open and No. 217 Shi Han at Wuhan. Eala regained some of her mojo in Tokyo with a breakthrough quarterfinal appearance in all of her Asian Swing campaign. Battling Shnaider for nearly three hours, Eala lost steam and fell to the Russian anew after yielding to the latter in Ningbo second round last week. At the 250-tier Hong Kong Open, Eala is seeded No. 3, and one of the favorites to win it all after No. 1 seed Shnaider, and No. 2 seed and World No. 16 Sorana Cirstea. Completing the top 8 seeds are world No. 23 Leylah Fernandez, No. 30 Maria Sakkari, No. 35 Jasmine Paolini, No. 38 Talia Gibson and No. 39 Wang Xinyu. Last year, Eala reached the second round of the Hong Kong Open. She walked over at 6-4, 2-1 against Katie Boulter, who retired due to an injury in their first-round clash before succumbing to Victoria Mboko in the second, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6.

Cone surprised with Ginebra's 2-0 lead vs SMB

TIM Cone admitted he and his gritty Barangay Ginebra squad are surprised to be up, 2-0 in their PBA Season 50 Governors' Cup best-of-five quarterfinal series against powerhouse San Miguel Beermen (SMB). The Gin Kings took the series-opener, 104-95, followed by a 126-99 annihilation of the Beermen in Game 2 to move them within a victory from advancing to the semifinals. "Is everyone as surprised as I am about this?" said Cone, visibly in disbelief of how seemingly easy Ginebra has handled SMB through the first two games of the series. "We didn't even dream that we would be able to get out, even 1-1, much less 2-0." With solid team play and defense as Ginebra's trump card, the Gin Kings were smoking from the field en route to finishing Game 2 with a hot 55.1-percent shooting. Ginebra also outrebounded San Miguel, a team that boasts of nine-time league Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo, 48-30, while the team also enjoyed a massive 32-14 advantage in assists department. Import Jordan Murphy has also found his rhythm as evidenced by his near triple-double effort of 33 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Ginebra's backcourt pair of RJ Abarrientos and Scottie Thompson delivered all-around numbers, too, while Stephen Holt provided the spark, too. Abarrientos went on to score 22 points, highlighted by four threes, along with five rebounds and six assists, Holt scattered 19 laced with five triples while Thompson added 12 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists. "We're definitely on a roll. Our offense is clicking and guys are locked in defensively. We are just trying to keep the pressure on San Miguel, keep on attacking, keep going at him, and so far, it's working," Cone stressed. And while Ginebra is just a win away from reaching the Final Four, Cone isn't one who will make a big deal of their series advantage. "I don't have any complaints at this point. But again, two games doesn't make a series as we all know. We've heard that many times," he added. The American coach knows the Beermen are always capable of coming back. For one, San Miguel, the league's all-time winningest team is the only ball club in professional basketball history to complete a comeback from a 0-3 deficit and win the Philippine Cup finals series against Alaska in the 2016 season. San Miguel will try to live for another day and win Game 3 as the series set next Tuesday, will shift to the Dasmariñas Arena in Cavite.

LeBron, Maxey fuel 76ers over NY Knicks

LOS ANGELES, California — LeBron James scored 20 points including a late tip-in to help seal the Philadelphia 76ers’ 98-93 victory over the NBA champion New York Knicks on Friday (Saturday in Manila). The 76ers notched their second win of the young season over the Knicks after spoiling their championship banner-raising with a victory at Madison Square Garden on opening night. The win had a double edge as Friday’s games marked the start of the fourth edition of the NBA Cup, the NBA in-season tournament won by the Knicks before they went on to beat the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals for their first championship since 1973. Group-stage Cup games will be played throughout November, all counting in the regular-season standings. Quarterfinals will be played Dec. 4–5 and semifinals Dec. 8–9 before the final on Dec. 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tyrese Maxey scored 27 points to lead the Sixers, who took control early against the sloppy Knicks. They led by 14 in the third quarter and weathered a late Knicks surge. Jalen Brunson’s step-back three-pointer put New York up, 90-89, with 1:32 remaining. James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, answered with a basket that put Philadelphia back in front and pushed the lead to 96-91 with a tip-in off a Maxey miss with 11.9 seconds left. James, 41, added nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and a vintage chase-down block in what 76ers coach Nick Nurse called his best game since joining as a free agent in June. Brunson led New York with 24 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, who fell to 2-4. The Dallas Mavericks, fueled by 35 points from Kyrie Irving and 33 from Cooper Flagg, rallied to hand the Houston Rockets their first defeat of the season, 116-111. The Rockets had emerged from a back-and-forth first half with a 51-44 lead, pushing the advantage to as many as 11 before taking an eight-point lead into the final frame. Irving’s three-pointer with 7:01 remaining put Dallas back in front, and they wouldn’t trail again, the Mavs finding an answer when Houston twice pulled level in the final stretch. Golden State star Stephen Curry scored 31 points to lead the Warriors to a 112-95 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in a roller-coaster contest in San Francisco. The Lakers out-scored the Warriors, 38-15, in the first quarter, the Warriors erasing the 23-point deficit by outscoring Los Angeles, 38-15, in the second to knot it 53- 53 at halftime. Luka Doncic scored 37 points for the Lakers.
