Uganda


In May 2010, Working Bikes shipped bikes to Uganda.

"We'll call it 518 bikes to Uganda ... had trouble closing the door to the shipping container! Comprising 448 used adult mountain bikes, 70 used children's bikes, 9 boxes of used parts, 33 used rubber tires & 2 bags of used inner-tubes."

Our partner in Uganda is the Women Prisoner Support Organization. Please read the WPSO website at http://www.wpsouganda.org Working Bikes is happy to be able to support this partner.

In August, we received some photographs of the bicycles being unloaded from the container.

We are anticipating a visit to Working Bikes byIrene Nadunga co-founder and Executive Director of WPSO this year. We are anxious to hear how the bicycles improve the lives of the recipients in Uganda.
