OneLove is very appreciative of support from Bicycles for Humanity
For several years, he have been fortunate to receive containers of bicycles from the Edmonton, Calgary and Victoria chapters of Bicycles for Humanity (450 bikes per container).
Bicycles were used to support communities. This included giving bicycles to:
-
Doctors so they could avoid the dangers of using public transportation and continue to visit hospitals during COVID.
-
Mamas that had graduated our entrepreneurship program. The bikes provided the necessary transportation for them to increase their customer base and access suppliers.
-
Families in remote areas for transportation to nearby villages to purchase basic needs and/or allowing their children to attend school.
Bicycles for Humanity sends bicycles to empower disadvantaged communities in developing countries. The organization is run 100% by volunteers who spend hours obtaining and repairing used bikes. Since their inception in 2005 (by a Canadian), they have shipped more than 325,000 bicycles through their 50 chapters in 8 countries.
Hi One Love Africa foundation,
I'm in Tanzania, one of the people who received bicycles from one love, I received one bicycle for my kids and it helps them a lot especially going to school and they are not tired anymore, also I received one for me, it has a big impact in my life, I'm using it to go to the farm, for physical exercise, I'm no longer walking for long time or long distance. Also other peoples who received these bicycles helping them to go the different markets when doing their businesses also give their children to take them to school especially those schools are far from our village. Thank you – people in Canada are very nice we love you and thank you a lot.
