Bicycles for education in Latin America – Give your money a purpose!
Join our team of 10 Aussies as they tackle Colombia's challenging 1,500km, 28-day cycling journey. This adventure is more than a tour – it's a chance to make a tangible difference in children's lives.
Empowering education through bicycles
In many developing countries, children walk for hours to get to school, often exhausted and at risk due to the lack of reliable public transport. With a bicycle, we can change that.
A bike can:
• Reduce travel time by up to 75%
• Save energy for learning, play, and rest
• Provide quicker access to healthcare, extracurricular activities, and community events
The cost of a meal, the value of a future
For just USD 75 (approximately 300,000 Colombian pesos), we can provide a child with a brand-new bicycle, empowering them for a full academic year. This is the equivalent of a meal for two in many places, but for a family in Colombia, it is life-changing. This simple gift bridges the gap between dreams and reality, potential and opportunity –
something not easily available to the families we’re trying to help
Why Colombia, Why Now?
Colombia’s breathtaking landscape hides a deeper challenge – thousands of children face long, tiring, and sometimes dangerous walks to school. We're working to overcome these barriers of distance, poverty, and inequality, ensuring every child has the chance to succeed through access to education
