Dear Carmen, greetings from Kizito foundation of Lyantonde in Uganda. Last Sunday, I was able to distribute the bikes to the beneficiaries and it was great! Women never thought they would be given more bikes. It was a surprise to them. I was able to take a few pictures some of which are these in the message. However, it was important to note that the prices for the bikes have gone significantly higher compared to the past. This is due to the economic crisis in the country- which you may be aware of. For that reason, I was able to negotiate for a few bikes (King type) and I was able to get them at a slightly lower cost but other types were high. The King type was out of stock given that many people take it due to its lower cost. We are hopeful that the prices will stabilize maybe next year. Thanks for the support to kizito foundation ...
Once again we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of people and the hard work they put raising funds for Wheels 4 Life.
At the beginning of the month Adam Davidson hosted an event called “Ride Like A Kid”, using this as a platform as well as reaching out to family and friends on both sides of the continent Adam raised $2000. His mission was to specifically raise funds for children at an orphanage in Botswana so that they can get to school. In addition to Adam’s $2000, we added another $500 donated by our friends and supporters Mark and Jane Hammonds in the UK and gave the children another 25 bikes. This makes a total of 100 bikes for the BROI orphanage this year!
In Germany Manfred Kleinbach raised $659, thanks for your continued support Manfred. IXS in Switzerland raised another $1000 for us in addition to their initial $10.000 fundraiser through the sale of their Wheels ...
We have had a busy and productive year providing bikes in Uganda throughout 2011, funding bicycles for many different projects. Our field Ambassador Jude Muleke hosts meetings twice a year and invites all of the bicycles recipients to attend and discuss their individual projects, the power of the bicycle, how their lives have been impacted by the bike, any pitfalls and how their lives can be further improved through the gift of bicycles. One of our projects this year was with the Action for Rural Women’s Empowerment and they attended the latest meeting. Silvia Nalubega had this message for us “Hello Carmen

September was a massively busy month for us with fundraisers and bicycle distribution happening all over the world.
In Switzerland the ueber cool protection and apparel company IXS made a limited edition Wheels 4 Life baseball cap. Not only does this hat look great, it is fantastic quality too.

Back in July a group of Mountain Bikers in Munich, Germany held a fundraising week for Wheels 4 Life.
Wolfgang Trautenberg and the M97 group raised funds for Mary Adionyi and her people in Kenya. In total they raised $1220 which was enough to buy 12 bikes out of the 18 Mary received for her community and thus providing them with much needed transportation. Here is what Wolfgang had to write about their fundraiser;
All media covers the current famine in Africa. This strikes a chord with many people ready to donate for immediate relief programs. Knowing that sustainable aid must help people to become independent of money and food given to them by relief organizations, the mountaibikers from Munich chose Wheels4Life.org for their summer donation. During the “fundraiser week” at www.M97.de, the mountainbike group of the Munich section of the German Alpine Club (DAV Sektion München), a total of € 850.- (US $ 1220.-) were collected for ...
