World Bicycle Relief (WBR) mobilises people through The Power of Bicycles. We envision a world where distance is no longer a barrier to independence and livelihood. By building and distributing specially-designed, locally assembled, rugged Buffalo Bicycles to those who are challenged by distance in rural developing countries, we empower people to access the education, healthcare, and economic opportunities that can transform lives. Getting a bicycle is a game-changer for a child. Instead of spending hours reaching or returning from school, they can tackle homework while its still light outside. As compared to cash transfers, the bicycle is an asset transfer that benefits not only the child, but also the whole family. Bicycles are low-cost, environmentally-friendly and offer the added benefit that cycling is good for overall health and fitness. By providing bicycles to children, especially girls, we can empower them with knowledge and ultimately, change the course of their lives.
