Power of Bicycles

You can change a girl's life by giving her a bicycle.

Dear Friends of Bikes for Girls:                                    

The last few years have not been kind to schoolgirls in rural Africa. The impact of missing school as a results of COVID 19 is still being felt. Added to that, there is now a dramatic reduction in Aid from wealthy countries which will hurt both education and health. Large increases in the cost of food and worsening economic conditions will mean that many girls will never be able to return to school. 

For those who can return to school, having you give them a bike can be life-changing.                               

 The girl who receives your gift of a bike: 

  • Lives in a small rural village, many kilometres from her school

  • Having a bike, she will get to school faster, more regularly, and with more energy to study

  • Will be more likely to graduate from high school and fulfill her dreams

  • Will be better able avoid sexual harassment on the way to and from school

  • Will get her pre-school chores, like ferrying water and finding firewood, done faster

Over the past 10 years, YOU and our friends have provided Buffalo Bikes to more than 2000 girls. The girls are grateful.

For $205, YOU can give a life-changing bicycle to an African student. 

Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Bikes for Girls Team                                                                                                 Brigitte, Mary, Linda, Bob, David, Fred, Ken, Stan

Ps. Gifts of any amount are gratefully received.

Pps. Although the Bikes for Girls focus is on girls, World Bicycle Relief also give bikes to boys.


Thank you to my supporters

I'm making this donation in the name of Virginia Aulin -- a dynamic, empathetic, accomplished woman from a small BC town who's made a big positive difference in our world. I'm so lucky she's also one of my best friends. Virginia knows first-hand the value of a good education for girls. Her message regarding what she hopes this donation means to a girl getting a bike is one word: "Freedom."
