DOUBLEbikeMATCH has raised over $5,000!


You can still donate here



Thank you to all who have donated so far – $5,000 from you plus $5,000 from our Angel Donor is enough to help send 75 bikes to Africa!

Although we didn’t meet our goal, this micro-appeal was part of an integrated campaign has raised close to $500,000 over the past six weeks. With the match, that’s more than 7,400 bikes.

There’s still time to be a part of the matching program – when you give one wheel, a generous supporter will give the other. Donate a whole bike, and recipients in Zambia will get twice as much.

Please give today and tell your friends. The more donations we receive – no matter how large or small – the more we can improve access to healthcare, education and economic development.
