Help to secure a bicycle - Fundraise in your local bike shop

Status: Finished
Time needed: 
Two weeks or more
Step: 
1

The youths need one or more bicycles to get water for the vegetable project and to go to town to sell their arts and crafts and soon their veggetables. They do not have a bike yet what means that for each way they have to pay a bus or a taxi.

For this task we are looking for fundraising ideas or organisations that would be able to sponsor a bike. A used bike costs around 40 USD and a new one around 75 USD.

Update: We are very grateful for the donation by one neighbor to buy a bike. The youths should soon get it.
However, it would be good to further investigate ways to find another bike.

Neighbors, it might be an idea to ask in your local bike shop to put there a box with the Wakitaka logo and some explanations for donations. Anyone interested to help with this?

Hi Emmanuel,

I just came across a comment by Mary about a bike sponsorship-program in Jinja.
http://www.bspw.org/bspw.html Maybe you could pass by there the next time you are there and ask if they could help you.

best,
Maria

Hi,

update:

You can board taxis going to Mbikko-Nile, board off, at Nile
Breweries, you can easily find the place, just a few meters from the
main road.

You will be assisted.

Yours Kyambadde Edwards.

this is the answer I´ve got from their German partner organisation (bspw in Uganda did not answer so far..)

thank you for your request. Our workshop is located close to Nile Breweries at the Highway Jinja-Kampala. You can also send your request to bspw@bspw.org by email. The team of BSPW will give you more informations.
