Donate now – for mobility with perspectives

Since 1993, Velafrica has been collecting unused bicycles, repairing them in work integration enterprises and correctional facilities and then exporting them to partner organizations in Africa. With a donation or a legacy, you can help cover the costs of repair, transport, and training.

Velafrica will use your donation where it is needed most. Thank you very much!
