Story

Im fundraising for Tearfund so that many more people like Gilbert can receive help and hope. Every £215 I raise could train 10 self-help groups of 20 people in business and life skills, equipping them to lift them to lift themselves out of poverty

Please sponsor me to help end extreme poverty.

Gilbert lives in eastern Rwanda. Gilbert's early years were marked by a difficult living situation involving a lot of violence, causing him to leave when he was only 8 years old. He came across a Tearfund partner who taught him life and business skills, and now he has built himself a life as a bicycle taxi driver, enabling him to support his family. The power of a bike!

Together, our cycling can make a difference to people living in poverty!
