A bicycle in the hands of a student in need, helps reverse the cycle of poverty in rural Africa. World Bicycle Relief is working to provide 50,000 students (70% girls), teachers, and educational workers with specially designed, locally assembled bicycles; providing access to education, healthcare and economic opportunity. For just $134 you can give The Power of Bicycles and give the gift of A New Beginning. worldbicyclerelief.org
