From one bicycle to a community that moves itself
We don't measure impact by what we hand out. We measure it by what people can do next. Here is the route we're riding and how we report on it.
How change happens

What we track
Every programme reports against the same indicators, so supporters and partners can see exactly what their support moves.
Results are published here as each school year closes.
Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals
Bicycles for learners serve quality education. Rides and positive masculinity work serve health and gender equality. Skills training and the lodge create decent work, and clean transport and conservation serve sustainable communities and climate action.
A funding model built for resilience
We don't depend on a single donor. Four income streams support each other, so the work continues when any one of them slows.
Grants and donations
Programme grants from foundations, institutional funding, seed and catalytic grants, and individual and community giving.
Corporate partners
Brand sponsorships, CSR partnerships and in-kind contributions.
Social enterprise
Income from the cycling lodge, the technical school and locally made merchandise.
Events
Race registration fees, curated cycling tours and expeditions, and event sponsorships.
Reports and accounts
