Activities & Mission

We aim to provide relief for those seeking asylum and those granted refugee status and their dependents who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress. To achieve this, we collect, repair, and distribute second-hand bikes to refugees and asylum seekers. All of our resources and funding are directed towards achieving this goal.
