Bikes for Zambia
Someone once wrote that in Zambia, ‘...a bicycle is more valuable than a car.’ For people who live in a country where a lot of people, especially those living in rural areas,don’t have access to their own mode of transportation orhave the money to afford public transportation on a regular basis, it is their only form of reliable transportation
We have a group who will be sending a container of mountain bikes to Zambia in April and would love to include your used mountain bike (in good condition). For more information about drop off spots contact the office - info@sohip.org
