By empowering and engaging people; Africycle is working to create sustained, responsible development in Africa. Stimulated by the support of Canadians, Africycle's model of development utilizes a holistic strategy to benefit communities as a collective, leveraging the greatest outcome

from all resources - money, time and people. Recognizing need and taking action, Africycle discovered that many people in Africa could not afford available forms of transportation; mini bus, taxi or least of all a private vehicle. Therefore the alternative most people turn to is a bicycle. Simple and cheap to operate, bicycles are an effective way to save significant amounts of time. By providing access to appropriate, affordable bicycles; Africycle is using the bicycle as a tool for change in Africa.

From supporting local students and school feeding programs to the rebuilding of community structures and expanding our bicycle loan initiatives, your generosity continues to move us forward.

In September 2024, volunteers in Uxbridge, ON, came together for an incredible two-day packing event. Not only did we pack donated bicycles from our hometown, but we also offloaded a shipment from our partners at Bicycles for Humanity in Thunder Bay, ON, to fill the container bound for Malawi. After rail strikes, hiccups, and delays, we finally received this shipment at our shop in Malawi — and the crew couldn’t be happier with the quality of the bikes! A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible in both Thunder Bay and Uxbridge. The smiles during our rainy (and very muddy) offloading say it all!

Looking forward to receiving this inaugural shipment!

Looking forward to receiving this inaugural shipment!

We’re loading our first container of bikes to Africycle in Malawi!

This marks the start of our new partnership with Africycle, an organisation making a huge impact.

Re-Cycle supports AfriCycle’s key initiatives, including a microloan program that helps low-income families buy bikes and repay over time, saving on transport costs. AfriCycle reinvests proceeds from refurbished bike sales into community projects, like supporting over 500 orphaned children.

In a country facing economic challenges these bikes are life-changing - providing critical links to schools, healthcare, markets, and jobs. 🌍

Here’s to new partnerships and brighter futures! 💛
