Snapshot 2024- 20 Years

For 20 years Bikes for the World has stood out from the crowd because of the varied and imaginative ways our donated bikes are used to positively impact individuals and communities. Our bikes are more than just bikes! They are the family vehicle that gets kids to school, transports good to market, shortens the commute to a farm field and breaks down barriers for access to education, healthcare, and vocational training. A single bike donated to a partner project is used by 4-6 people, expanding its impact even  more. 

In 2005 Bikes for the World donated just over 5,000 bicycles. We had nine supported projects in nine different countries. Twenty years later we are still delivering bikes to four of those programs. In 2024 we donated over 11,000 bikes.  Over the past 20 years we have delivered
over 400 containers to 32 countries, supporting 114 projects! And we are NOT slowing down.

Looking back we welcomed nearly 100 groups and surpassed last year's volunteer records, logging more than 6,300 hours across 1,768 volunteers. By utilizing the skill and heart in our communities at home we are able to greatly improve the value of our shipments and the quality of our bikes and spare parts included in every donation. We are building on our commitment to youth service hours providing a learning experience with a reachable impact that spans the globe. 

Moving forward we continue to count hours and bikes, but our focus remains on providing the greatest quality in every shipment. Our goal is to uplift our partner programs and empower them to improve their communities.
