When you buy these products, apliiq donates 20% of the sale to non profit Akerfa whose goal is to change lives by creating opportunities through reliable transportation.
Having a bicycle can be the difference between getting to work every day or often missing out on work because public transportation is unreliable or too full.
Subsequently, this can mean the difference between eating or not eating, getting to a hospital or becoming dangerously ill. The ability to go where you need to go, when you need to go, affords freedom, opportunities, and an increased quality of life.
Akerfa has partnered with Zambikes, a company on the ground in Zambia that employs and trains Zambians to build sturdy, reliable, affordable mountain bikes for their community.
They also make attachment pieces, such as a cart for towing supplies, the Zamcart, and a trailer for transporting people in need of medical assistance, the Zambulance!
Zambikes also creates sustainable, beautiful bamboo bicycles for you! Each bike takes 60 man hours to hand craft the frame from bamboo shoots and hemp reeds.
