The Need

For many people in the developing world, walking is their primary mode of transportation. Add the challenge of distance and seemingly simple tasks of going to school, visiting the clinic, or delivering goods to market become difficult and sometimes impossible. With no choice but to walk, meeting everyday needs is a struggle against time and fatigue.

Our Response

World Bicycle Relief builds and distributes specially-designed, locally assembled, rugged bicycles to students, healthcare workers and entrepreneurs through study-to-own and work-to-own programs. For increased sustainability, we train field mechanics to ensure access to maintenance and spare parts. 

In addition to our philanthropic programs, World Bicycle Relief sells our Buffalo Bicycles directly to non-governmental organizations, companies and individuals in need of affordable and sustainable transportation.
