We were hugely excited to get the first photos from Namibia with our first conatiner arriving in Opuwo where it is now being implemented as a Bicycle Empowerent Centre. This bike workshop will support the local Red Cross and the local community provided emplyment, training and economic opportunities. Many of the bikes will be distributed to home based care workers  who work at the coal face to the HIV/Aids response in Namibia.

Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible. We’ll keep you posted as the story unfolds.
