Your unused bicycle can help South African children travel miles to school, healthcare workers reach distant villages or the employed get to work or start their own business. Bicycles for Humanity-Seattle plans to ship 1,000 bicycles to the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa where two wheels can transport villagers from poverty to a better life.

Seattleites are asked to donate bikes; sturdy mountain bikes are needed the most, but all used or new bikes are greatly appreciated, even those in need of minor repairs. Charitable donations are tax deductable. Volunteers are also welcome to help staff the bike drives, repair bikes or assist with administrative tasks.
