World Bicycle Relief provides specially designed, locally assembled bicycles to healthcare workers and others in rural Africa; connecting them with education, healthcare and economic opportunities. Bicycles will be a critical element of pandemic relief in Africa as COVID-19 spreads, due to the lack of medical and transportation infrastructure.
