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.

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.

Smarter Bathroom: Meet Moderno Home Depot’s MHD-4500 AI Smart Toilet

The modern bathroom is evolving beyond functionality, with smart technology bringing greater convenience, personalized comfort, and new possibilities for everyday living.  Joining this shift is Moderno Home Depot’s MHD-4500 AI Smart Toilet. Introduced as the Philippines’ first app-controlled smart toilet, the unit combines smartphone connectivity, hygiene-focused functions, and wellness-inspired features in a contemporary design.  At the heart of the MHD-4500 is its smartphone connectivity. Through the Moderno Smart Home app, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, users can connect to the unit via Bluetooth and access its smart features directly from their phones. Voice control and a remote control system offer additional ways to operate the toilet, providing greater convenience and flexibility for everyday use.  “As the Philippines’ fastest-growing smart toilet brand, Moderno Home Depot believes that innovation should make everyday living more convenient and comfortable. The MHD-4500 reflects our commitment to bringing smart technology into practical home solutions, giving Filipino homeowners more opportunities to experience the benefits of a connected home,” said Rovie Sanchez, co-owner of Moderno Home Depot.  Beyond connectivity, the MHD-4500 places personal hygiene and comfort at the center of the bathroom experience. It features a self-cleaning nozzle, front and rear wash functions, bidet and hip wash options, adjustable nozzle positioning, and UV sterilization. These functions offer users more options for a personalized cleansing routine while incorporating additional hygiene features into an everyday essential.  Comfort takes center stage through its heated seat, adjustable water temperature, and adjustable drying system. Multiple massage modes, including strong-soft and moving massage functions, provide further customization. Built-in aromatherapy, dynamic lighting, and a soft night light add a wellness-inspired dimension, while automatic lid opening and closing and a slow-closing seat ring bring added convenience to daily routines.  These features are housed in a modern, elongated design crafted from premium ceramic. An LED display and integrated controls complement its contemporary appearance, allowing the unit to combine smart functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic.  Practical considerations are also part of its design. The MHD-4500 uses a siphon-jet flushing system with automatic and manual flushing options, as well as a foot-sensor flush function. A built-in water tank and booster pump support its flushing system, while leakage protection and power-outage flushing provide additional functionality.  For Jean Sanchez, co-owner of Moderno Home Depot, thoughtful home upgrades are about creating spaces that respond to people's everyday needs.  “Creating a comfortable home goes beyond choosing beautiful fixtures. It is also about finding solutions that make everyday routines easier and more personal. With the MHD-4500, we want to encourage homeowners to look at the bathroom in a new way and discover how technology can bring added comfort and convenience to their daily lives,” she said.  The product launch coincided with the opening of Moderno Home Depot’s newest showroom in Biñan City, Laguna, on Oct. 8, expanding the brand’s presence in South Luzon. The showroom offers homeowners, architects, and construction professionals another destination to explore modern bathroom fixtures and home solutions.  With the MHD-4500, Moderno Home Depot brings connected technology into a space where comfort, hygiene, and functionality intersect every day. It offers homeowners a new way to think about bathroom upgrades — not simply as a matter of aesthetics, but as an opportunity to make everyday living more convenient and personalized.
