We are proud to present our collaboration with Bicicletas Sin Fronteras.
Over the coming years we plan to dedicate time, resources and money to supporting the charity in achieving its mission:
“Improve the quality of life of people living in less privileged situations by using bicycles as a tool for integration, equal opportunities and increased social mobility.”
Bicicletas Sin Fronteras was founded by passionate and energetic social entrepreneur Romà Boule from Girona.
When speaking with Romà about his charity, this is what he said:
What makes the Bicicletas Sin Fronteras bike (Baob bike) different?
“Since our focus is on education of young people and not on the bike as a transport tool, the bike can be simpler, lighter and cost effective. We believe that education is the key to improving the wellbeing of young people in the places we work.”
Why are you focusing on Senegal currently?
“We have worked in other areas including India. When visiting Senegal we noticed that the schools were already built across the country but the children had no way of getting there. We saw an opportunity to fill that gap.”
What makes you get out of bed each day?
“As well as loving the creativity needed in what I do (I am at heart an entrepreneur), I feel like if I help people, I also will be looked after.”
Romà took our hearts and our heads with this project and above all with his openness to any kind of donation or support.
