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.

Projects 50 Zambulances

Proposal:

Getting 50 Zambulance Trailers and bicycles to Rural Zambia Health Clinics

Project Cost - $40,000

In 2009 and 2010 Zambikes has successfully distributed over 600 Zambulance Health care units. These units include a bicycle ambulance, bicycle, tool kit, spare parts, distribution and training. Before people were being brought into the clinics in ox carts, wheel barrels or not brought in at all, but with Zambulances they are brought in quickly and from much farther distances to get the care they need.

One of the greatest successes with the Zambulances is the ability to quickly and safely get pregnant women into the clinic in time to have their babies get the pre-natal shots necessary to stop the passing on of the HIV virus.

With this project proposal we would like to get 50 Zambulance kits into the Rural Health Clinics with the help of Center for Disease Research Zambia aka CIDRZ. ZAMBIKES will build and distribute the Zambulance kits and CIDRZ will be on the ground making sure these life saving tools are being used properly and to the maximum potential.
