Why Ride for the Future?

The Ride for the Future project stands out for its positive and lasting impact on the lives of young Rwandans. We provide financial support to youth, enabling them to meet their essential needs and fully dedicate themselves to their training.

They craft their bamboo bicycles, easing their commute to school and providing crucial support to their families. By addressing the growing demand in Rwanda’s cycling market, the project ensures that youth acquire skills aligned with market needs.

Our commitment to gender equality creates an inclusive and diverse environment. Notably, 10% of participants come from rehabilitation centers, fostering social reintegration.

It’s a genuinely transformative and egalitarian initiative.
