  • Nadeeka peeks around her tuk tuk at one of her clients while working near Kandy, Sri Lanka. Nadeeka is a tuk tuk driver in an industry dominated by men. <br />

Most of her work involves driving children to and from school, and driving women to and from markets. She has a loyal clientele that keeps her busy during daylight hours, without having to hustle for business or compete with other drivers.<br />
