Chukudu: The motorless wooden cart that carries the entire city of Goma. Without a drop of gasoline or a single engine sound, this entirely wooden cart carries nearly half a ton of goods daily in eastern Congo.

In this video, Handora explores:
• Where is Goma, and why do its people need such a cart?
• When did the Chukudu originate? (Sources are inconsistent; the video clarifies)
• Inside the workshop: splitting wood, carving wheels, wrapping old tires, and assembling

• How the driver operates it uphill, downhill, and with heavy loads

• Costs, income, and estimated figures in Vietnamese Dong

📚 DATA SOURCES
Wikipedia (Chukudu); Make: (Chukudu wooden scooter); The Christian Science Monitor (2008); Global Press Journal (2016). The figures for price and income are old figures based on the years the press recorded; they may differ today; conversion to Vietnamese Dong is only an estimate. The video does not discuss the current situation in Goma.

⚠ Note: Going downhill with a fully loaded scooter is very dangerous. This is the livelihood of the workers, not a game, please do not imitate.
