Nonprofit partners use WBR Bicycles for student programs in South Africa

Two leading South African non-profit organizations, Qhubeka and the Wildlands Conservation Trust, purchase WBR Buffalo Bicycles for their Trees-For-Bikes program. The program uses Qhubeka's "hand-up not hand-out" approach. A child can earn a bicycle by planting 100 saplings, and the bicycle enables the student to commute to school quickly and safely every day.  South African high school students have planted hundreds of thousands of trees through this program; Dr. Andrew Venter, Executive Director at Wildlands, believes their work will inspire everyone in South Africa who is committed to making a difference for the environment. 

World Bicycle Relief is proud to supply bicycles for this innovative program; bicycles purchased for Trees-for-Bikes are assembled in our newest facility in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
