Bicycles for the Girls: To help increase access to school andregular attendance

As the classes at the Girls College Starts ea

morning at 6:30 am, its quite a challenge for m

of the girls to get to the college in time for cla

They have to rely on their family members to le

them their bikes or help to bring them to

school.

Because of this challenge many girls have to mthe classes and cant attend the school on time.

Since we dont have a school bus or any alternat

transportation system, providing a paddle bike w

greatly help the girls and will help them to ge

school on their own and be independent. This w

also improve the school attendance.

Donating a bike for a girl to commute to school is a wonderful motivating gift. The status of th

own bicycle in Nepal can make a life changing difference to a young girl. Providing the gir

bike will provide an opportunity for the girls whose families would otherwise be reluct

to allow walking these distances for safety reasons. A bike is especially helpful for girl

families who can barely spare the money for education, let alone transport.

In other places where this type of program exists, the bike is the girl childs proud

possession and has given her the courage to dream of even greater things.
