88Bikes Project FOUR

Our Fourth Year. Four Locations.

88Bikes in partnership with Free The Slaves and Touch a Life

There are 27 million slaves in the world today, many of them children. For kids rescued from slavery, their journey toward independence and healing is arduous. This year, 88bikes honors the heroism of these children by launching a multi-country endowment. In early 2010, 88bikes traveled to Ghana, India, Nepal and Vietnam, endowing orphanages, ashrams, centers and schools sheltering children rescued from human trafficking. The Moment of Happy happened at more than a dozen sites throughout the world. Nearly 300 children received a bicycle and over the next year we will be returning to provide them with the training to maintain it. 88bikes partnered with Free the Slaves and Touch A Life, two non-profit organizations dedicated to the eradication of slavery. A bike is that magical vessel of freedom and fun, the rare tool as useful as it is enjoyable. For these children--as all children--a bike provides joy, freedom and autonomy. A bike can help a child get to school and explore her world. And, at certain locations, 88bikes will work to set up on-site bike shops and sponsor in-depth bike repair apprenticeships. Every kid should have a bike!
