The Village Bicycle Project transports donated used bikes and provides bicycle repair training and n Village Bicycle Project helps empower people and communities by providing donated used bicycles in Ghana and Sierra Leone. VBP bike recipients usually walk most places they go, as much as 10-12 miles per day. Along with bicycles, we provide hands-on maintenance training for new owners, and we teach girls and women to ride their bikes. We give village bike mechanics detailed training along with specialized bike tools and spare parts. This comprehensive, holistic approach ensures that bikes will be dependable, affordable and sustainable transportation. Women and girls are specifically targeted for inclusion in programs which begin to address the gender inequalities that limit their access to bicycles.
