Uplifting drivers and their communities
As part of their commitment to empowering informal sector transport operators, MAX provides a comprehensive range of benefits to “Max Champions”, including increased income, access to financing, quality vehicles, training, support services, insurance, healthcare, and emergency response. This approach improves the livelihoods of motorcycle-taxi operators, creating a positive impact for them personally, while also uplifting their communities and contributing to sustainable economic development.
Why Goodwell invested
Positioned at the intersection of mobility and financial inclusion, MAX is actively formalising West Africa’s fragmented informal motorcycle taxi industry. This investment demonstrates the power of mobility and logistics to positively impact a wider ecosystem: MAX’s work not only ensures safe and affordable on-demand motorcycle transport for commuter, and better futures for their drivers, but also plays a crucial role in the region’s economic development.
