In Switzerland, the average journey to school takes just twelve minutes. But in rural regions of sub-Saharan Africa, children often have to walk for hours, which can be dangerous. Our «Bike to School» programme provides children and young people from poor backgrounds with bicycles at a reduced price.
With your donation, you can now double the impact: until 31 December 2024, every donation will be doubled by a loyal supporter of Velafrica – up to a total amount of 50,000 Francs.
In the five years since the «Bike to School» programme began, Velafrica has distributed over 6,500 bikes to schoolchildren – 2,500 of them in 2023. Take part in this unique opportunity and give schoolchildren worldwide more mobility and therefore also educational opportunities!
We focus our resources where they are needed most. Thank you for your support!
With a donation of 30 CHF, you can finance two repair kits for flat tires.
With a donation of 75 CHF, you can repair and export a bicycle.
With a donation of 120 CHF, you can fund the establishment of a bike mechanics course in Burkina Faso.
Your donation to Velafrica as part of «Sinnovativ – Stiftung für soziale Innovation» is tax deductible. We send donation receipts for tax purposes at the beginning of the following year. Please note the cantonal tax laws. Here you will find our tax exemption decision from the canton of Berne where we are based.
Many thanks for your support!
