Just Give a Child a Bicycle – Preventing School Dropouts

In Poonakary, over 150 children were at risk of dropping out of school because they had no reliable way to get there. Forced to walk up to 7+ miles a day on unsafe roads, many children were unable to attend school consistently. Concerned parents were keeping them home, and the future looked uncertain.

The answer? Bicycles. In 2018, we provided 150 bikes to students, allowing them to continue their education. With reliable transportation, they were able to attend school every day, stay engaged, and stay hopeful.

Since then, we’ve continued this initiative, providing hundreds of bicycles to children in need. Today, those students are still in school, gaining the knowledge and skills they need for a brighter future.
