Qhubeka Charity Details
Qhubeka uses bicycles to move communities forward. We partner with the community, public sector, private sector, and non-profit organisations to develop our programmes, which focus on providing people with bicycles in return for working to improve their community, environment or school attendance.Through your support, Qhubeka uses bicycles to connect families to schools, clinics and job opportunities. Communities with limited transport have restricted options, but bicycles are tools of change. With access to transport comes a connection to opportunities.That's why Qhubeka's name is an Nguni word that means "to progress", "to move forward" – because bicycles help people to travel faster, further, carry more, be fitter and access more options, including healthcare and educational facilities. Bicycles also save people money they would have had to spend on other forms of transport.From keeping children in school to helping whole communities to create new economic opportunities, bicycles are a simple, affordable and sustainable solution to some of Africa's most pressing social problems.What began as a project to help a few schoolchildren travel to school more easily has evolved into a wider model that aims to provide simple, affordable transport that connects entire communities to schools, clinics and job opportunities.We also believe in empowering people and upholding their dignity. Because of these guiding principles, our programmes are based on a work-to-earn principle. People earn bicycles in return for growing trees, recycling waste, committing to improve their school attendance or their outputs at work, and in various other ways. Whatever they do to earn their bicycles, the result is always the same: a community that is more connected.When you fund a bicycle, you help to:1. Connect communities to basic services2. Help learners to access to education3. Improve health4. Save families money on transport costs
