COMMUNITIES ON THE MOVE
Since 2020, the funds raised through our Black Friday Ride have supported World Bicycle Relief’s Communities on the Move project and its vital work in Kasungu, Malawi. In a region where affordable transportation options are largely unavailable, the bicycle has the power to transform lives. It can help students reach education and opportunities. It can help health workers reach patients in need of life-saving care. And it can help farmers reach markets and increase their income.
With three annual investments of $150,000 from the Rapha Foundation, World Bicycle Relief’s Communities on the Move is significantly increasing local people’s mobility and, in turn, helping them come together and chart a new path forward.
THE IMPACT SO FAR:
2,423 women and 1,381 men now have access to Buffalo Bicycles
19 bicycle mechanics trained
13 Bicycle Supervisory Committees formed and trained to oversee distribution and maintenance of the Buffalo Bicycles, ensuring the long term sustainability of the project
78% of residents’ bicycles have received preventative maintenance
DONATE NOW
If you would like to make an additional contribution on top of the money Rapha donates to World Bicycle Relief, you can do so via our donations page. Any amount would be massively appreciated.
RIDE WITH THE RAPHA FOUNDATION
Founded in 2019 with the mission of building a better future for cycling, the Rapha Foundation now supports more than ten organisations around the world committed to inspiring, empowering and supporting the next generation of riders from under-represented communities in the sport.
All of our grantees know the impact a helping hand can have in underserved cycling communities. To pass on the goodwill, many of them will be joining the Rapha Black Friday Ride to help even more people unleash the power of the bicycle.
