Millions of people in rural Africa spend hours each day walking to school, healthcare, work and markets because of a lack of affordable transport. These long journeys reduce time for learning, earning and family life, limit access to essential services and opportunities, and disproportionately affect women and girls, trapping many families in poverty.

Re-Cycle gives unwanted UK bicycles a second life in Africa. Through trusted local partners, bikes are refurbished and distributed to people who need reliable transport to reach school, healthcare, work and markets. A bicycle can cut journey times by up to 75%, helping people save time, increase income and access essential services. Re-Cycle helps to train local mechanics and supplies spare parts ensuring lasting impact within communities.
