What we do

Bicycles as a means

In rural Namibia, life on foot means long travel times, limited carrying capacity, and a small travel radius — making the impact of a bicycle truly transformative.

Our vision

is that mobility by bicycle reduces poverty, improves quality of life, and creates opportunities for individuals, families, and entire communities. 

Bicycles empower people and increase dignity.

Our mission

Is to enhance education, economic growth, entrepreneurship, employment, income, health, and inclusion by providing access to used bicycles — enabling individuals and communities to thrive.

Lasting change

Founded by Roderick van Zuijlen van Nijevelt in collaboration with local partners and donors, integrates bicycles into the daily lives of vulnerable people and builds sustainable cycling ecosystems in the most rural areas of Namibia.
