Gender Equality
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.


Mobilizing Women and Girls

Throughout developing countries, women and girls face cultural obstacles that limit their access to quality education, well-paid employment, quality reproductive healthcare, and property rights. Empowering women and girls with bicycles unlocks their potential and provides:

  • More time and energy to focus on educational pursuits
  • More safety and confidence en route to schools and clinics
  • More choice and privacy when accessing healthcare
  • Greater earning potential
  • Improved standing in the household
