Bicycles for Rural Healthcare Workers         Namibia/Zambia

Imagine having to walk 12 miles to reach the
nearest
health clinic. In rural parts of Africa, a
person needing medical attention has no other choice.

Healthcare workers in Namibia and Zambia have an urgent need for bicycles so they can deliver medication and services to those who are too weak or too far from a medical clinic to walk. In a land where greater than 20% of residents are HIV positive, a bicycle can bring life saving care within reach. Nearly 75% of the people affected by disease do not live within reasonable walking distance of a clinic and in some cases, are forced to walk up to 12 miles along a dirt road. Meanwhile in the US and other countries, thousands of bicycles are discarded each year.

Last year, nearly 1,200 bicycles were donated to BICYCLES FOR HUMANITY making it possible for rural healthcare workers to provide life-saving care, education, and social services to those who desperately need it.
