We are proposing to improve human rights in the country of North Korea. North Korean citizens are rarely allowed to leave their home towns or cites. They are banned to leave the country. Only important political officials are allowed to rent vehicles due to the lack of petroleum and gasoline. North Korean refugees who flee to China are forced back into North Korea by Chinese officials and are then sent to prison camps and beaten. Our 10 million dollars is going to start a taxi service throughout North Korea. It will be called KKCS Taxi Service. We will implement our 10 million dollars by buying the economical Toyota Prius. We will buy 650 cars with 5 million dollars, and the other 5 million dollars will go to up keep on our taxis. Since there is a limited gas supply already the Prius is proven to be the best choice. The KKCS Taxi service will put most of its services into the densely populated areas of North Korea. There will be limited assistance to those in the rural areas of the country, but we will try to reach our services out as far as we possibly can. Our mission is to assist the citizens of North Korea in helping them move around their own country like they should be allowed. We do not want to offend the government in anyway, and are working with officials to think of some compromises. We will advertise our business by passing out flyers and posting them in store windows. Having our logo on the cars door will also help spread the word. We will make money off of this project by being the original owners of the company. Once the business takes off we are hoping it will be very successful. We will get great return on investment because very few people own or rent cars. This will be one of their only ways of transportation which in the end will make it very popular. The Iowa Core Geography standard we will be meeting is to understand diverse cultural responses to persistent human issues.
