Bikes Without Borders

We are a federally registered, Toronto-based, non-profit organization that uses the bicycle as a tool for development in marginalized communities. 

In rural and remote areas around the world, often the biggest obstacle to accessing hospitals, schools, and markets is simply transportation.  Bikes Without Borders has a successful record of implementing and maintaining bicycle infrastructure, providing access to these life-sustaining and life-saving services.  

Malawi Project: Phase One

Most recently, we distributed 40 new bikes and 20 bicycle ambulances to community health organizations in Zomba District, Malawi.  Phase One continues to have measurable and lasting positive impact on this community, where
   - Community Health Workers visit 13% more patients and spend 46% less time travelling with a bike, 
   - Farmers' incomes rose 44% with access to a bicycle and
   - mothers are 3 times more likely to give birth in a Health Centre if they have access to a bicycle ambulance.

Help us keep the momentum rolling...

In Phase Two of the Malawi Project, we intend to distribute 100 more bikes and 20 more bicycle ambulances, as well as training programmes for Community Health Workers. 

Imagine the very real, transformative affect this will have on Zomba District!

We can only achieve this goal with your generous support.  Your donation will go towards a short campaign video and enhancements to our website, BikesWithoutBorders.org.  These projects are absolutely vital to spreading the word about Phase Two and necessary to securing the financial and institutional support we need for its completion.
