Velafrica’s vision is a world in which all people can enjoy the benefits of bicycle mobility to improve their lives. To this end, the nonprofit organization collects unused bicycles in Switzerland and Germany and has them repaired or converted into spare parts at work integration enterprises and correctional facilities. Velafrica exports the bicycles and spare parts to partner organizations in Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Malawi, Ivory Coast, Ghana and The Gambia. There, the bicycles help people gain access to education, income and healthcare and create jobs and training opportunities related to bicycles.
