World Bicycle Relief just launched its exciting year-end campaign for donations, its annual appeal for funds that will provide life-changing bicycles to students living in rural developing countries. Donations received now through December 31, 2016, will be matched dollar-for-dollar with the potential of delivering thousands of bicycles to students who are at risk of dropping out of school due to the challenge of distance and personal safety on the way to school.
This year’s campaign, A Way Forward, focuses attention on girl students. Over 29 million girls around the world do not attend secondary school. Many factors contribute to girls dropping out of school in much higher numbers than boys: obligatory household chores, distance to school, sexual assault and child marriage. These barriers stand between young girls and bright futures. A high-quality bicycle can remove these barriers, keep girls in school and keep them safe as they travel to school. World Bicycle Relief is committed to breaking down these barriers for girls, helping them achieve their educational goals and become change-makers within their communities and around the world.
Join World Bicycle Relief this holiday season in changing the future for thousands of bright, dedicated and passionate girls who will achieve great things for themselves and the world given access to an education.
