In Britain, millions of bikes are thrown away or lie unused in sheds, whilst many people in Africa have no access to transport of any kind. People spend hours each day walking to collect water, firewood or to access health care, school and employment. A bicycle lightens this burden and dramatically improves their wellbeing as well as work and education opportunities helping to bring social change. Bikes give families the extra time to earn, learn and enjoy life. 

Also the average African woman walks roughly 4 hours a day. Whilst walking, they're often subject to risk of harassment or even assault. With a bicycle, women are safer, and have more time to pursue opportunities and improve their families’ lives.

Every bike we recycle can create immeasurable impact in an African village economy. Bicycles have proven to be an invaluable resource even in regions that have public transport. £15 donated can transform the lives of an entire family.

With your donation, we can achieve this. We have 7 colleagues who are dedicating themselves to a muddy obstacle race in pitch black darkness with just the light of a head torch. Please support us and donate even if it's just £1 as we are aiming to change lives. 

So please, help us RECYCLE :D
