Spring time is here, which means it’s BIKE DRIVE SEASON!
Alaffia is gearing up for a GREAT round of bike drives and
we are excited to see all of you and COLLECT THOSE BIKES! Our Founder,
Olowo-n’djo was down at the PDX, Hollywood Whole Foods Market for a ‘Meet the
Founder’ and kick off our first bike drive of the season! Seventeen bikes later, we are ready to keep
the community empowerment rolling! (Thanks for the love PDX!)

Bring us your adult sized bikes and we will distribute them to students in Togo. Education helps break down the cycle of poverty, and dedication to educating women is a key to empowerment.

“Now that I have been given a bike, I am free. When I did not have a bike, I was always late to school. Now, I am free. I get up, I sweep the yard, I wash the dishes before leaving for school, but I am still on time.” Tieka Lare- 2012 recipient of a Bicycles for Education donation. |
 |
| Every year, your faithfulness to donate helps us keep girls in school. (Bonus! You are able to easily recycle your old bike, WIN WIN!) |
 |
| This past year, with your help, we were able to ship and distribute 500 bikes to young girls. |

| “Before, my daughter suffered a lot to go to school. She was forced to go hungry (because she could not return home during lunch). Sometimes I was able to find 25 francs [10 cents], and I gave it to her to buy lunch. And in the evening she returned very late, from 7-8 pm, because of the distance. Now, with her bike, everything has changed. She gets to school on time, and returns early after school. Thank you for this precious gift. Thank you very much.” -Mother of Tieka Lare |
Look for us at our next two bike drives in June - We’d love

But, one of the bottlenecks that can stifle the realization of that fantasy bike possession is the very act of shipping that bike, and more specifically, shipping the bike economically.
