Help us Mobilise a School in Africa in 2023!
Cora Bike Rack is excited to be partnering with World Bicycle Relief to mobilise young people living in low-income, rural communities using the Power of Bicycles.
We have set an ambitious but achievable goal: to raise $35000 to mobilise an entire school. This will enable World Bicycle Relief to:
- Establish a Bicycle Supervisory Committee in a rural community, which will identify students most in need of transport, monitor their progress, and provide feedback on how the program is working.
- Distribute 120 Buffalo Bicycles to students who face long, exhausting journeys to school, and who risk dropping out as a result.
- Train a local mechanic, so students can easily access repair and maintenance services to keep their bicycles on the road.

At Cora Bike Rack, we want to give 120 school kids access to education and the chance to break the cycle of poverty and create a better future.

Jon Rutledge, Managing Director of Cora Bike Rack, had this to say about this amazing target:
"Cora Bike Rack has been helping increase the number of bicycle commuters in Australia for over 20 years by providing secure bicycle parking facilities at the workplace, home and everywhere in between.
The benefits of providing bicycle transport to people in developing communities are even more significant and life-changing. Cora Bike Rack is proud to help make a difference by supporting World Bicycle Relief spread the Power of Bicycles."
Distance is a Barrier
According to the United Nations, access to education increases adult earnings by around 10% for each additional year of schooling. By raising enough money to mobilise an entire school, we're helping ensure 120 children have a pathway out of poverty.
With a Buffalo Bicycle, a student's commute time can be reduced by up to 75%, attendance rates rise by 30%, and academic performance increases by almost 60%.
For girls, it also means increased safety on the journey to school.
