My name is Betty Otoo 37 year a widow and peer counselor in my village Acet (Gulu District). I would like to greatly thank Wheels4 life and VAC-NET for providing us free bikes that have changed our lives, I received my Bike in September 2011, and this bike has brought an indisputable change into our family.

2011
Posted:
2011 was a milestone year for Wheels 4 Life. Thanks to so many fundraisers and individual donations we were able to provide over twice as many bikes to people in great need than in 2010. Donations were up and by the end of the year we had a total of 1201 bikes distributed.
I cannot deny that this is very exciting for us and extremely rewarding when we can see so many positive direct results thanks to the work we are doing together. We received so many heartfelt letters of thanks and reports from every single project listing the names with photos of the people with their new bikes. To hear from school children, medical workers and people trying to earn an income to support their families, to read of their joy at having their own transportation is so gratifying. To know that we are making headway, getting stronger, growing and the number of bikes we can give is escalating ...

Kizito Project Report Uganda
Posted:
Dear Carmen, greetings from Kizito foundation of Lyantonde in Uganda. Last Sunday, I was able to distribute the bikes to the beneficiaries and it was great! Women never thought they would be given more bikes. It was a surprise to them. I was able to take a few pictures some of which are these in the message. However, it was important to note that the prices for the bikes have gone significantly higher compared to the past. This is due to the economic crisis in the country- which you may be aware of. For that reason, I was able to negotiate for a few bikes (King type) and I was able to get them at a slightly lower cost but other types were high. The King type was out of stock given that many people take it due to its lower cost. We are hopeful that the prices will stabilize maybe next year. Thanks for the support to kizito foundation ...

October fundraisers
Posted:
Once again we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of people and the hard work they put raising funds for Wheels 4 Life.
At the beginning of the month Adam Davidson hosted an event called “Ride Like A Kid”, using this as a platform as well as reaching out to family and friends on both sides of the continent Adam raised $2000. His mission was to specifically raise funds for children at an orphanage in Botswana so that they can get to school. In addition to Adam’s $2000, we added another $500 donated by our friends and supporters Mark and Jane Hammonds in the UK and gave the children another 25 bikes. This makes a total of 100 bikes for the BROI orphanage this year!
In Germany Manfred Kleinbach raised $659, thanks for your continued support Manfred. IXS in Switzerland raised another $1000 for us in addition to their initial $10.000 fundraiser through the sale of their Wheels ...
