SENEGAL EXPERIENCE WITH BICICLETAS SIN FRONTERAS
Introduction to Bicicletas Sin Fronteras Project
Bicicletes Sin Fronteras was formed in 2012 by a local couple with the vision of empowering communities through bicycles. In 2015, this took them to Senegal, where they began the Bicycles for Education project.
This initiative has profoundly impacted students who previously walked up to six miles/10 km to school, significantly shortening their commute and increasing their energy for schoolwork. By 2024, the project has been able to donate 5,247 ¨Baobike¨ bicycles, benefiting over 9,300 students.
Bikecat Collaboration
Bikecat is a supportive partner of Bicicletas Sin Fronteras, selling their t-shirts and bracelets at the Bikecat shop in Girona and donating 1% of our benefits to the Bicicletas Sin Fronteras project in Senegal. We at Bikecat are continuously searching for dynamic ways to support this project, from a fund-raising campaign to organizing “viajes con alma” (solidarity nonprofit trips) to bring you to discover their work in the beautiful region of Palmarin in Senegal, Africa.
