Support Girls in Africa with Bicycles

 

Help Fund 100 Bikes for Girls in Africa

Inspiring Sierra Leone’s Future Cyclists

Help us raise £750 and support the cycling in Sierra Leone.

For many girls in rural Africa, education is out of reach—not because they lack ambition, but because they lack transport. Long, exhausting walks to school force many to drop out, limiting their future opportunities. 

A bicycle can change that.

Why Bikes Matter for Girls

In rural communities, girls often walk miles each day just to get to school. The journey is long, tiring, and sometimes dangerous. Many are forced to drop out, limiting their education and future independence.

A bike changes everything:

  • Education: Girls with bikes are 19% less likely to drop out, attendance rises by 28%, and commute times shrink by 33%.
  • Safety: Cycling provides a safer, faster alternative to walking long distances.
  • Opportunity: Staying in school improves future job prospects and independence.

For these girls, a bike isn’t just a mode of transport—it’s a lifeline to education, safety, and opportunity.
