Background
Bicycles for Humanity–Ottawa is an initiative founded, in the spring of 2007, by two friends who found inspiration in Pat Montani's grassroots organization Bicycles for Humanity, and who share a deep desire to make a difference in the developing world.
Simply put – unused bicycles in your garage or basement can make an incredible difference to those in need of transportation to receive or provide healthcare, to get to work, or to attend school. Such bicycles represent a terrific opportunity to change the lives of those less fortunate.
Our objective is to send Bicycle Empowerment Centre (BECs) to empower disadvantaged communities in Africa, through channelling the help and generosity of the Ottawa community. We collect bicycles, and funds for their transportation, to provide a deserving community project in Africa with the mobility they need to achieve their goals.
