Giving children a wheel to learn!

In rural areas of Tanzania, students are struggling to attend school since they have to walk long distances to and from school. The latter results in a lack of energy, early pregnancy and lack of concentration which in turn, averts them from attending classes at all.

The AfriBike project by AfriCraft aims to provide those students with bicycles to ensure a safe and accessible route to school.

Why AfriBike Project?

  • School children in rural areas living far away from their school have to walk 10 km and more in
      order to attend classes, thus often quitting school due
  • Schoolgirls are repeatedly endangered or put at risk of sex abuse. In several cases, school girls face early pregnancy

Target group:

School children in rural areas walking long distances to their school

What we do

  • Procuring second-hand bicycles in the local market
  • Refurbishing the bicycles and branding them with ‘Giving children a wheel to learn’
  • Providing the bicycles to the village government to hand over to the school children
  • Setting up a bike repair unit at village level
  • Creating awareness on the project to village leaders, parents and teachers
  • Documenting the project activities in the social media
  • Promoting the BINTI project to partners interested in supporting the project
