globalbike going to ethiopia

After spending almost 18 months working in Zambia - globalbike is adding a new country - Ethiopia. The work we are proposing in Ethiopia will be a little different and will open new avenues for the work. We will again be partnering with Project Concern International - but will focus our bikes on older women who are working with orphans and vulnerable children. In addition, these women are also part of a self-help group where they lend money to each other to generate income. globalbike is encouraging the group to develop ideas about how bikes can be used to generate income. Imagine for a second - a bike as transportation, medical and emotional support, and a tool to eliminate poverty - this work is exciting. Check out one of the self help groups waiting on bikes. The bikes we will be using are $160 US - and just now you can donate online through the paypal link on the left.

Peace.
