88Bikes in partnership with Friends of Cambodian Children

Thanks to some amazing generosity, well over 88 kids at the Palm Tree Orphanage were given bikes, locks, helmets, and shoes from 88Bikes in January 2007. These bikes have made a huge difference to the kids, bringing joy to their lives, a sense of freedom and possibilities, and of course a useful form of transportation in Cambodia, where bikes are quite popular as a way of getting around.

It was truly inspiring to see the outpouring of generosity when we announced the project in Uganda. We had extraordinary support and were able to deliver 200 bikes to the kids in Patongo. Patongo is a camp for refugees of the Ugandan Civil war, which was originally established as a temporary encampment for just a few hundred people, but which today is a small city with thousands of permanent residents. You can also learn more about the Patongo school and the children there by watching the 2007 Oscar-Nominated documentary War/Dance

Our 88bikes project for 2008-2009 brought bikes to children in Huancayo, Peru, about 100 miles east of Lima. On January 2nd and 3rd, 2009, over 120 bikes were given away to kids at several orphanges in Huancayo. 88Bikes supported the needs of these heroic children whose lives have been impacted by HIV, the Shining Path guerilla movement, and the regional poverty that have destabilized Peru over the past two decades. The kids range in age from as young as 4 or 5 years old to kids in their late teens.
