 Thanks to Cycling out of poverty, Hope Alive Uganda was able to start a cycling out of poverty project. Luuk Eickmans and Marieke de Wild from Cycling out of poverty decided to start their new project in Kisozi in 2010, which was a great opportunity for Hope Alive Uganda and the people.
In 2010, Hope Alive Uganda was able to start a cycle2school project with Cycling out of poverty. This project is a micro loans project for students in Kisozi. In 2010, this project run in collaboration with Cycling out of poverty appeared to be quite succesfull. Hope Alive Uganda is fortunate to be able to expand this micro loans project with the help of Cycling out of poverty with a cycle4work project for women in 2011.
On the website of Cycling out of poverty we can read the following about the organization:
Cycling out or Poverty is supporting small entrepreneurs (BIKE4WORK), students (CYCLE2SCHOOL) and health workers (BIKE4CARE) in Africa with bicycles. Many poor Africans lack money to buy a bicycle but do have a view on how a bicycle could be used to earn a livelihood, improve access to schools and health care. Therefore, our local partner organisations in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda are providing bicycles on credit and are exploring innovative bicycle designs.
