With a will, you can make an impact beyond your own lifetime. By including Velafrica in your will, you support our long-term efforts for sustainable mobility and prospects in Switzerland and Africa.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our projects are designed to be long-term. Donations from wills enable us to continue effective programs, develop new initiatives, and plan our work more reliably.<\/strong> This way, you help create long-term opportunities for education, livelihoods, and mobility with donated bicycles. Your commitment has an impact where sustainable solutions are needed \u2013 across generations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\t\t
