World Bicycle Relief

Mission

World Bicycle Relief mobilizes communities in rural regions around the world to thrive with life-changing bicycles. We work globally in underserved markets with millions of people who lack reliable transportation, creating access to affordable purpose-designed bicycles, mechanics and spare parts so that individuals and communities have independence, access to health care, education, and economic opportunities.

Vision

We envision a world where bicycles improve healthcare and education outcomes and broaden economic opportunities so individuals and communities can thrive.

Goals

1.Our impact goals are shaped by past successes and new evidence from operations and partnerships. We measure progress by evaluating program effectiveness—community engagement, training, and monitoring—and the sustainability of our bicycle ecosystem, including mechanics, spare parts, and services. As we expand, we aim to replicate and enhance these standards to ensure measurable, scalable impact.
