BIKE DONATION IN LUSAKA

Today we donated a further 28 bikes here in Lusaka bringing the total to 56 bikes donated in Zambia. If anywhere, it feels like Zambia is one of the places where these bikes are most needed. A very charismatic woman named "Loveness" told us that in her community, they use the bikes to visit AIDS orphans and follow up on them. They also visit AIDS patients to keep them up to date with the intake of medicines and make sure they don't stop. Previously, they could only visit an average of 6 households per day on foot, now this is five to ten times more thanks to the bicycles donated...


The bicycles are built locally by a company called Zambikes. These bikes are really nice. Zambike also produces a bamboo frame bicycle, quite amazing actually.
