After having a pleasant and inspiring meeting with Vida Juliet Vivie, Bike 4 All agreed to start a pilot period in cooperation with the Vida Cycling Program. Vida Cycling Program is empowering women in Ghana by the cycling sport. By cycling Vida brings the girls together, encourages them to develop and go to school, teaches them the occupation of repairing bikes and helps the girls giving their lives more stability. “If you can fix a bike, you may understand you can also fix your life.”
Vida started her program in 1994 and was formally registered in 2009. Now days the program includes 54 children for which school fees are covered. Two times a week a training is organized, bikes are provided as well a (save) grass track. Once a month Vida Cycling organizes an individual a team time trial.
During the pilot phase Vida Cycling Program and Bike 4 All will investigate possibilities for a durable cooperation.
