Outline Project 4

Bikes4LifeĀ 

  • Australian organisation that sends bikes to people in developing nations

Founder

  • Ebony Butler from Melbourne
  • Worked in the film industry and was inspired by a documentary she worked on about the lives of people in Uganda in 2009

Collection of Bikes

  • Ask for donations of money but also of old bikes that people no longer use
    • Noticed high numbers of bikes went to waste in Australia every year
    • Advertise drop off points for bikes on their website –> locations in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne
  • The bikes are fixed if they need to be by volunteers before being sent off

Volunteer Work

  • Have features on their website that allow for people to post about upcoming cycling events where they will be raising money for the charity
  • Have programs for volunteers where they teach them about the work being done in different countries before taking them there to help distribute bikes
