There are so many different programs sending bikes to Africa, we could probably start a blog just to track all of them … today the News Tribune profiles Duane Sorenson, Stumptown Coffee, and Bikes to Rwanda.
Most of my employees are ex-bike messengers … talking with growers in Rwanda, “I asked what their particular challenges are,” Sorenson said. “They said, ‘A bicycle would completely change my life.’”
Stumptown is also involved in the racing scene, sponsoring teams, and races.
Good on ‘ya Stumptown - It’s always good to see companies giving back like this.
absolutely. i managed to give a little to africabike this year, there’s no questioning the worth and for so little cash…
