BIKES DO
MATTER

The AVC assists and guides undocumented refugees in Amsterdam. The bikes will be used to facilitate transport for all those participating in the organization’s activities.

We shipped a container with more than 200 bicycles to support schoolchildren throughout Sierra Leone.

We collaborated with BikeFlip and De Fietsmeesters, an organization which works to provide cycling lessons for women in the city of Utrecht.

Habibi.Works is an intercultural marker-space where refugees and locals work together to develop new skills and perspectives.

In June 2019 we organized and facilitated our first team-building activity in Amsterdam: giving 9 teams of 8 people the challenging task of assembling 1 complete bicycle (a classic black “oma-fiets”) in just 45 minutes

Stichting Seedz Zorg is a foundation offering guidance, support and learning activities leading people who are disadvantaged in the labor market due to social or psychological difficulties into education and employment.

We worked on another collaboration with our long-standing partner Betuwe Wereldwijd (Tools4Change), as they set up a project donating tools to GUBFO, a local foundation operating in the Kumbungu region in northern Ghana working to organize vocational training for disadvantaged young people.

We were the proud sponsors, for the second year running, of Droevendaal’s annual “Tour de Droef”.

In 2018 another 50 bikes were donated to social projects in Rotterdam, The Gambia and Uganda!

New chances to women in Sudan through the bicycle!

In collaboration with Betuwe Wereldwijd we want to support local NGO’s by enhancing mobility by giving bikes to the volunteers and participants in the programs.

This project saw the arrival of 200 Dutch Omafiets or Grandma Bikes painstakingly sourced and transported from the Netherlands.

De gemeente wil graag dat meer Rotterdammers gaan fietsen. Je blijft er fit door, het is beter voor het milieu, de stad blijft zo beter bereikbaar én het geeft je heel veel bewegingsvrijheid. Sinds vorig jaar heeft het college de fiets tot de nieuwe heilige koe verklaard en allerlei maatregelen genomen om de stad nog aantrekkelijker te maken voor fietsers.
