Hi, my name is Dennis, the founder of Sports-Hotels.com
We're passionate about travel and sports. But we're also passionate about many other things, including bikes and humanity.
"Bicicletas Sin Fronteras" (Bikes Without Borders) is the non-profit organization we support and with whom we share many of the same values.
Do you remember the joy of riding your first bike?
The wind in your hair, the freedom of the open road and the endless adventures!
Our charity campaign is all that and a lot more, it's a ticket to better education for the children of Senegal!
In a nutshell, Bicicletas Sin Fronteras provides bikes for children to avoid long, sometimes dangerous walks to school. This allows them to save time and energy to focus on their studies. But the project provides so much more. Read further below.
We've set an ambitious target 14,400 Euros.
We donate 5 Euros for every booking made at Sports-Hotels.com. But that's not enough and we need your help.
Remember, even the smallest of donations go a long way!
Why 14,400 Euros?
This is the amount of money we need to raise to be able to deliver 60 bikes to the children in Senegal.
This breaks down to 240 Euros per bike. This covers not just one bike, but everything involved from start to finish. This includes delivering the bike, child supervision to ensure school grades improve, training of local bike mechanics, and so much more.
Could you imagine you or your children walking 10 Kilometers every day just to get to and from school?
This is the reality for many of the children in Senegal. They wake up before sunrise and walk sometimes dangerous routes to get to school. Here they arrive tired and with less energy to focus on their studies.
By providing bikes, the children save up to 90 minutes each day plus they save over five times the energy.
Thanks to this project, it has been proven that the children's school grades have gone up substantially. Even enrollment to Universities from children who have benefited from a bike have gone up from 31% to 57%.
There are endless other benefits to supporting this program.
School drop out rates have been reduced, zero emissions, local employment and children are happier.
Who doesn't enjoy riding a bike?
But there is so much more to this project than delivering a bike to a child.
Thanks in advance for any donations or the sharing of this page.
And feel free to contact me for more details about this project.
Lots of love,
Dennis
