From bike distribution to mechanic training, our programs create lasting change by providing sustainable transportation solutions to rural communities in Ghana and Sierra Leone.
In 30 minutes, a bicycle transforms how far students, workers, and families can travel - expanding their world exponentially.
Our comprehensive approach ensures bicycles create lasting impact in communities.
Quality, subsidized bicycles distributed to Ghana and Sierra Leone since 1999. We collect used bikes in the US and refurbish them for a second life in Africa.
People trained in bicycle repair and maintenance skills. Our One Day Workshops teach essential skills to keep communities rolling for years to come.
Women and girls empowered with cycling skills. In many communities, girls have never had the opportunity to learn - we're changing that.
Repair tools distributed to mechanics and communities. Tools ensure bikes can be maintained locally, creating sustainable transportation networks.
Partnership with Schools for Salone providing bikes to students. Schools manage bike fleets that students can borrow, dramatically improving attendance.
Supporting local mechanics with tools, training, and subsidized parts. This creates jobs while ensuring bikes stay on the road for years.
Our partnership with Schools for Salone has distributed nearly 900 bicycles across 11 schools, transforming student access to education.
