Impact Story
Bicycles were a big part of our childhood, but today, many kids donāt get to experience that joy. With this campaign, we want to bring back the happiness of biking, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and giving children a way to get to school safely and independently.
In Villareal, there is the only public school that serves children from over 8 public schools in the area. Unfortunately, around 20% of children drop out when they reach secondary school. We aim to inspire them to continue their education by providing an extra motivation. Giving a bicycle is not just a gift; it’s a tool that promotes independence, responsibility, and active participation in the community.
Bicycles offer more than just transportationāthey symbolize health, freedom of movement, and a connection to the environment. This project also encourages the whole community to become more conscious on the roads, respecting cyclists and pedestrians while taking care of our environment.
