Children benefit tremendously by having their parents around more. Time that was previously spent gathering necessities can now be spent at home.

Walking to work can take 3 hours or more. By bicycle it’s only a 40 minute trip. This means more time spent with one’s family and money saved on transportation.

A nurse who has a bike can treat 10 patients in one day, while on foot she can see only 3. Her time is spent focused on patients, not the clock.

We have posted a few videos about Akerfa and Zambikes below. We hope you catch our vision to transform lives throughout Zambia and all of Africa. Our goal is to do this not by just providing bikes, but by creating a self sustaining industry based on local skills and talents. Take a look, we’d love to have you on the team.

Introduction to Acirfa and Zambikes

Doors have opened for Zambikes to join forces with national and local leaders in Africa. Fuel shortages make bicycles indispensable for travel in cities and in the bush. Bikes can be the difference between making it and missing it; between uncertainty and hope. It’s time for the people of Africa to get a bike that works as hard as they do.

Catch a Glimpse of the Heart and Vision behind Acirfa

When is a bike not a bike? When it’s a catalyst of change. Bikes can set people free from dependency on foreign aid and out of endemic poverty. Bicycles release individuals to fulfill their potential, overcoming not just physical need but the very mind-set of poverty. They allow people in developing nations to go farther, travel faster and carry more than they ever could on foot. In the future, sustainability will truly turn Africa around, one bike at a time.
