The purpose of the project is to support tuk-tuk drivers living with disabilities and their familes. Worlshops and Wheels is not a tour company, it is a group of independent tuk tuk drivers working collaboratively to help you discover the rich and diverse local culture of Cambodia.

Tuk Tuk Drivers
We are all independent tuk tuk drivers who have a physical disability due to a birth defect, illness or accident (landmine, traffic, industrial). We grew up in poverty and this is still a daily concern for us. However, we are are a community of strong, capable, and fun-loving people who want to earn a fair-wage to enable us to feed our families and educate our children.
