What's the impact of my donation?

Since we also train mechanics and assemble bicycles locally, your donation also helps build a sustainable bicycle infrastructure in the areas where we work, benefitting generations to come.
Bicycle mobility improves education, health and gender outcomes, as well as broaden economic opportunities, so individuals and communities can thrive.

- Stronger infrastructure: Ongoing support enables us to strengthen local assembly, train field mechanics, and improve access to spare parts in a sustainable way.
- Lower costs: Recurring donations reduce administrative and fundraising expenses compared to one-time gifts — meaning more of your contribution goes directly to our programs.
