We are cycling around the
world not only for the thrill of a
new
adventure, but also to raise funds for charity. The
trip itself is entirely self-financed, and 100% of your
donations will go
directly to
World
Bicycle Relief.
Compared to walking, bicycles represent an enormous leap in
productivity and access to healthcare, education and economic
development opportunities. The simple, sustainable nature of bicycles
empowers individuals, their families and their communities.
We have met our fundraising goals for CAMFED
(Campaign for
Female Education) and are now raising money for World Bicycle
Relief.
While cycling through Zambia in 2007 we
met many Africans who
were riding bikes
donated by WBR. These
people were mostly teachers, care givers and
students who were using their bikes to go to work or attend
school. Without a bicycle it would have been impossible for
these people to work or study. Giving a bicycle to someone in
need is a simple, effective way to reduce poverty and make people
self-sufficient.
world bicycle relief's mission.
The mission of World
Bicycle Relief is to provide access
to independence and livelihood through The Power of Bicycles.
People in underdeveloped regions of the world are suffering every day
due to lack of access to health care, education and economic
development opportunities. Bicycles are simple, sustainable and
appropriate technology to support people in developing nations and
disaster recovery.
Founded by SRAM Corporation and Trek Bicycles in 2005 and
supported by many individuals, foundations and corporations, World
Bicycle Relief specializes in large-scale, comprehensive bicycle
programs by providing supply chain management, technical knowledge and
logistics expertise to poverty relief and disaster assistance
initiatives.
