COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
We are proud to run the Vancouver Chapter of Bicycles for Humanity. We’ve helped ship over 2,000 old/unused bikes to those in need and have just started filling our next container. A bike acts as a major catalyst empowering people to move in ways they weren’t previously able. Transportation can enable a local economy to grow from giving doctors the ability to see more patients to allowing a child a way to get to school.
Bicycles for Humanity is a pure grassroots movement, it started that way and it will always be grassroots with no overhead of any kind. What brings us together is the simple belief that a bicycle can and does make a difference. Many NGO’s are bound by regulations, boards, deep management teams and they must stay within defined or imposed boundaries, follow the rules and do what is expected. B4H allows everyone who wants to make a difference and to help change lives to do so in the way they think makes sense and how they can best add value. In short, you can be as creative as you like, spend as much time as you want and build programs, partnerships and fundraising initiatives that make sense to you. Best of all, you can build relationships with many in the developing world and by working closely with them to implement programs, you are helping transfer valuable business and entrepreneurial skills.
