P4P collects 3,000 to 5,000 bicycles annually and transfers this material wealth tothose more needy. To date, more than 143,000 have been shipped to developing
countries in Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.
In these countries the bikes
are reconditioned by partner agencies and distributed at low cost to poor working
adults. These bikes provide them with reliable transportation for commuting to
work, transporting product to market, or accessing health care and other services.
Steady employment for these adults is vital to the development and success for
these economies.
