Bicycles For Humanity

Bicycles for Humanity is a grassroots organisation that takes disused bikes and put them to great use in developing countries. Much of their current work is being done in Namibia with the Bicycle Empowerment Network(BEN). The shipping container which the bikes arrive in is turned into a bike workshop in the community in which it is placed. The work shop provides skills training and business opportunties while the bike are distributed to remote HIV/AIDS care workers who typically have to walk huge distances in their work.

There are B4H chapters world wide. Go see where your nearest one is and donate your old bike, your time and any other resources for this great initiative.

25% of all revenue from the a salecycling on this site goes to our supported charities of which Bicycles for Humanity is the first. Do some good.

B4H Melbourne thanks its current sponsors.
