Bicycles for Humanity Colorado delivers transportation to Africa in the form of donated bikes. 100% of B4H’s proceeds are used to ship donated bikes to rural towns in Africa where there is no means of transportation beyond walking. After donating bikes to mobile healthcare workers, the rest are sold from the retrofitted shipping container - turned local bike shop, providing a boost to the economy of the community.
B4H creates opportunities for African women by enabling transportation for commerce, healthcare and education. B4H also provides entrepreneurial opportunities by hiring and training women as bike mechanics and to manage the bike shops.
For people living on $2 per day, a bicycle is normally far beyond their reach. Most female heads of households lack transportation to access healthcare, economic and educational opportunities for their family. B4H is focused on opening up opportunities for women by giving them much needed transportation and the ability to help provide a better life for their families.
