Summary Namibia is a country full of economic and social contrasts. Although it is one of the richest African countries, still almost 30% of its inhabitants live below the poverty line. Many of them cannot even afford to travel to work or to distant schools and hospitals. In response to this problem, the local NGO BEN Namibia, supported by Kulczyk Foundation, provides the poorest with access to bicycles. To this end, it has created a network of dozens of stores and service centers, where people can buy a bike at an affordable price. Profits from sales are allocated to maintaining the network of stores and service points, thanks to which it is possible to reach thousands of people across the country. Bicycles provided free of charge go to people who need them most, but above all, to employees and medical volunteers who can reach more patients.
