Caring For Their Community
In developing countries where diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV threaten rural communities, access to healthcare is vital. But long distances and rugged terrain make it difficult for patients to access remote health clinics. Volunteer health workers often walk 10-20 kilometers to provide care for patients in their homes. With a Buffalo Bicycle, workers reach 88% more patients, spending more time addressing their needs and helping to eradicate preventable diseases.
World Bicycle Relief partners with local governments, aid organizations, and the communities themselves to provide sustainable, last-mile healthcare solutions through our Mobilized Communities program.
Why Bicycles?
- More frequent, higher-quality patient care
- Increased community awareness of illnesses and preventative measures
- Increased retention of volunteer health workers
- Increased income for families with bikes
