Qhubeka is a charity that moves people forward with bicycles.

People earn bicycles through our programmes, improving their access to schools, clinics and jobs.

A bicycle is a tool that helps people to travel faster and further, to generate income and to carry more.

In the face of extreme and persistent poverty, bicycles can change lives by helping to address socioeconomic challenges at the most basic level – helping people to get where they need to go.

This video, beautifully captured by Janik Alheit, follows a bicycle distribution made possible through our partnership with the Tour de France. It is a reminder that while some bicycles race for victory, others are a ride to education, freedom, opportunity and fun.

“The best thing about my bicycle is that it helps me to go to school. I am having lots of time to read and study and be at school at the right time.”
