Donations like this mean that people understand the power bicycles have in helping the lives of orphans around the world. We are blessed to have supporters like them. Thank you all!</span><br />

Ebenezer orphanage's kids walk on average 2.5miles each day to go to school! Now 16 kids are able to go to school faster and in a safer, less tiring way.

We are honored to be able to help a person like Boaz.<br />

Here are a few words from the Director of the orphanage where Boaz resides.<br />
<br />
"They have believed the word of God which has made them become undaunted and fearless by climbing barricades which would otherwise prevent them from clinching such posts."<br />
