Bikes for Humanity

What do we do?
We collect pre-loved bikes and provide them to communities in need around Australia and overseas. Our bikes change lives by increasing access to education, employment and health care through improved mobility and self-empowerment. In Africa shipping containers become bicycle workshops providing employment opportunities and empowering these communities to sustain their own fleet of bikes. For more on our story see www.bikesforhumanity.com.au

What project are we fundraising for?
Our next project will see 400 pre-loved bikes collected from across Sydney and delivered to a rural town in Namibia. Bikes for Humanity will pack a shipping container of bikes and the equipment needed to start a bike workshop.

Funds you raise will be used to pay for shipping and clearance costs of sending bikes to Africa, ground transport in Australia and Africa, bike collections, containers and organisational administration (note: Bikes for Humanity is entirely volunteer run).

Over 12,000 bicycles have become an integral part of Namibia’s transport system. Bikes for Humanity groups in 49 towns around the world collected these pre-loved bikes and raised the funds to ship them. Together these organisations are making a massive impact in Namibia. The bikes provide mobility, income generation activities, hope and dignity to many disadvantaged Namibians.
