The Solution

We make sure doctors, nurses and other health professionals across Africa can ALWAYS reach communities, no matter how poor or remote.

By working with partner programmes throughout Africa we are able to provide health workers with vehicles and the rider training, fuel, and regular vehicle maintenance that ensures they are always ready to go and reliable.

Motorcycles are often used because they are uniquely suited to the job and environment.

 

“They say silence is golden. But if you live in a remote community in Africa, the most golden of sounds is the health worker’s motorcycle arriving in your village.”

Lesotho, healthworker, mother, baby, newborn, motorcycleWith reliable transport, medical professionals can reach people whenever and wherever they are needed with care, supplies and education.  Women in dangerous labour and the sick get to health centres or hospitals in time, and critical tests for conditions such as HIV, AIDS Covid-19 and TB arrive at labs for diagnosis so patients can be put on treatment.

By working with locally run programmes, we are able to make sure healthcare reaches communities throughout Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria and The Gambia.

We urgently need donations to help us reach more people with medical care and supplies.
