Bicycle Distribution Report – ACK St. Peters Khabakaya Secondary School

In partnership with Euromonitor

World Bicycle Relief is grateful for the partnership of Euromonitor in implementing the Bicycles for Educational Empowerment Programme (BEEP) at St. Peters Khabakaya Secondary School in Kakamega, Kenya. Euromonitor has provided 111 life-changing Buffalo Bicycles and a path out of poverty for students whose educations were at risk due to long and unsafe walks to school. Nine additional bicycles were allocated to Bicycle Supervisory Committee (BSC) members to support the programme at the school. 

ABOUT ST. PETERS KHABAKAYA SECONDARY SCHOOL

The Bicycle Distribution

How Students Were Selected

World Bicycle Relief has trained a Bicycle Supervisory Committee (BSC) made up of local community members who have selected students to receive Buffalo Bicycles. Students were selected based on distance travelled to school and vulnerability criteria created by the BSC. Nine bicycles were allocated to BSC members to support the programme. 

The Buffalo Bicycle

All bicycles are not created equal. The Buffalo Bicycle is purpose-built for rugged conditions, heavy loads, and daily use by students.  The students you’ve empowered can now reach school safely and on time. With their bicycles, students have extra time for studies, chores at home and after-school activities. Students also transport family members to health clinics and carry goods like water and grain to and from distant markets with their Buffalo Bicycles.

A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

Distribution day is always an exciting time at our BEEP schools, as the community joins in and witnesses the students receive their Buffalo Bicycles and experience the exhilaration of their first rides. Students (and their parents) signed a contract pledging to attend classes regularly and use their Buffalo Bicycles to help their families outside of school. In exchange, Buffalo Bicycles will become students’ property after they graduate.

INVESTING IN GIRLS

Investing in women and girls will change the world. Bicycles help them pursue education, healthcare, and livelihoods they need to break the cycle of poverty and thrive. BEEP prioritises girl students to help ensure that they are not left behind.

The 111 Buffalo Bicycles provided to St. Peters Khabakaya students ARE ALREADY MAKING a major impact

2020 was a challenging year globally, and in the countries where we work the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a profound impact on educational outcomes. The Buffalo Bicycles that you provided serve as a vital motivator to keep students in school.
