Share umbrellas in Singapore - share this idea of Sharella



Great idea. For crossing the road when the covered ways are on both sides but not across the road.

Why would the roof not cross the road? Because a roof high enough to clear the tallest vehicle would let the rain reach the pedestrians.

The idea was started in March 2017, created by students at the Republic Poly (RP) in Sembawang in Singapore.

How can you finance this scheme? Sponsors.

1 Business

2 Charity

3 Government

You need containers both sides of the road. A dozen umbrellas to put six each side of the crossing. You need a board explaining that people can use the umbrellas to cross the road and should put the umbrella back in the container the other side. You may wish to thank the sponsor or appeal for more sponsors. You also need to monitor whether the numbers of umbrellas are static, declining, or increasing. If declning, you can change sponsors monthly or get the sponsor to keep replenishing umbrellas. 

If your city or area does not have such a scheme and you want to copy it, run the story and ask readers to write in if they like the idea and support it, and ask for sponsors and volunteers.
