Bicycles for Humanity - donate your unwanted bicycle for use in other parts of the world.
Bicycles for Humanity is an amazing grassroots organization. All volunteers, no staff, no expenses- we collect old bikes and give them (and someone!) a new life in Africa. Really, Africa is humanity walking- a bike will change someone’s life. While many charities need $150 or more to put someone on a bike, we do it for $25.
What Bicycles for Humanity needs:
- Spread the word-please
- Your old mountain bike
- If you give a bike + $25 Bicycles for Humanity will change a life in Africa.
- Just the bike-that’s OK too.
- No bike? Consider clicking here to make a donation. Absolutely 100% of funds raised go directly to paying container costs & freight charges.
