This year, a team of 10 determined cyclists are taking on an extraordinary challenge: riding over 600 kilometres from Kampala, Uganda to Nairobi, Kenya — all to support Project Le Monde and help transform children’s lives through something simple, powerful, and life-changing: a bicycle.

In many parts of rural Uganda, getting to school isn’t just a short walk down the road. For countless children, it means walking miles each day — often arriving exhausted, late, or unable to attend at all. Education becomes a daily struggle rather than an opportunity.

Bicycles improve the safety of young people who travel long distances between their homes and schools. They also facilitate earlier arrival at school for girls in the morning and more time for homework in the evening. This issue is critical because girls disproportionately shoulder household chores. They are often expected to complete housework before attending school each morning and, in the evenings, take on tasks like cooking, cleaning, gathering firewood or water, and caring for younger siblings or elderly relatives. These responsibilities make balancing long commutes with studies difficult.
