Bicycle - £50
More than one tenth of all deaths in the world are due to diarrhoea, malaria, measles and neonatal tetanus. But your gift can buy a bicycle for a health worker who can travel around remote villages in poor countries treating or preventing these killer diseases. A bicycle also allows health workers to bring comfort and advice to the sick and their families when they need it most. An amazing gift, especially for the cyclist in your life.

All services are provided totally free of charge and aim at reaching the poorest of the poor. Its services include supportive counselling, medical assistance, home-based care and support to orphans and vulnerable children.
One key part of the programme is the training of 230 community health educators. The aim is that all of these educators will be provided with bicycles so that they can reach the many communities relying on them for vital medicines, care and advice.
