Working in partnership with NGOs, corporations and government agencies, World Bicycle Relief executes bicycle programmes that empower recipients to overcome the barriers of distance to healthcare, education and economic development. World Bicycle Relief employs over 100 people in the US and Africa and runs or supports six bicycle assembly facilities in Angola, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. To date, well over 225,000 specially designed, locally assembled bicycles have been distributed and over 1,000 field mechanics have been trained.
