Akerfa exists to raise awareness and directly support start-up social enterprises (companies) providing rural transportation in developing countries with capital and professional consultancy until sustainability is attained. Through building donor relationships, media contacts, NGO partnerships, and corporate sponsorships Akerfa has effectively supported the Zambikes team in providing high-quality bikes into the hands of underprivileged Zambians.

A high quality bicycle is often the difference between making it or missing it. It is the difference between getting to work every day or often missing out on work because public transportation is unreliable or too full. When surviving from day to day as many Zambians do, 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 fosters an increased quality of life.
