Bikes Without Borders / Bicyclettes sans frontieres

Mission Statement

Bikes Without Borders uses bike-related solutions as tools for development in marginalized communities around the world. We believe in the bicycle as a means of increasing access to vital health services, economic opportunity, educational empowerment and independence. We serve marginalized individuals and communities where bikes and bike-related solutions can have a significant, positive impact on community development by providing bicycles, repair and maintenance training and program support to residents through partnerships with local community and social welfare organizations. We have seen the impact that a bicycle can have on one life and know the collective impact within communities can be staggering. A bicycle can be affordable community health, get a child to school, a mother to a drinking well, the sick to a new clinic; a bicycle can help a healthcare worker deliver 10 times the vaccines, and a volunteer reach the people they are trying to help.
