More information
The concept for Africycle was realized after recognizing the need for a quality bicycle in Malawi. After traveling to Malawi and experiencing first-hand how bikes were used, Africycle embarked on a pilot project that delivered 180 bikes to beneficiaries in Malawi. After delivering these bikes, a follow-up on this project saw the positive impact that Africycle's bikes had on those who received them, and the high demand for such bicycles - specifically in communities in and around Zomba. By 2009, over 2000 bicycles have been shipped to Malawi, where they continue to be reclaimed as tools for change; helping to create economic and social opportunities for people in Malawi!
