Bicycles for a Brighter Education in Sierra Leone

Tax deductible
At Village Bicycle Project, we believe in the power of a bicycle to transform lives. That's why we've partnered with Schools for Salone to put bicycles into the hands of eager students, making their educational dreams a reality. We've already witnessed the incredible impact of this collaboration, having successfully delivered 1,000 bicycles in the past year, opening up a world of opportunity for these young learners.

After a successful pilot, we're now aiming to expand this impactful program. We're raising $10,000 to help support the distribution of 4,000 more bicycles to school children across Sierra Leone. Imagine the ripple effect: a bicycle means less time commuting and more time learning. It means improved attendance, better academic performance, and a brighter future for entire communities.

Our commitment goes beyond just delivery. We are fundraising to ensure the longevity and impact of the program by enabling our staff to regularly visit schools, follow up with students, and provide essential bicycle maintenance. This ongoing support is crucial to ensuring these bicycles remain a reliable tool for education for years to come.

Every dollar you donate brings us closer to our goal. Your support is an investment in the future, providing not just a mode of transport, but a symbol of hope and access to knowledge. By contributing to our $10,000 goal, you're not just providing a bicycle; you're ensuring that this vital program continues to empower thousands more children through ongoing support and maintenance. Join us in this crucial mission to pedal towards a brighter, more equitable future for the children of Sierra Leone.
