Mobility with perspectives
Velafrica is a leading civic and social organization dedicated to promoting sustainable bicycle mobility across Africa. Operating from its primary location at Waldeggstrasse 27, Liebefeld, Bern 3097, CH, Velafrica collects discarded bicycles in Switzerland, refurbishes them through a network of over 30 social enterprises, and ships them to countries including Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Gambia.
Velafrica's initiatives significantly enhance access to essential services such as education, employment, and healthcare by providing reliable and affordable transportation. In addition to bicycle distribution, Velafrica actively develops vocational training programs in bicycle mechanics, empowering young individuals with valuable skills and creating employment opportunities in workshops, sales, and administration. Velafrica is committed to fostering sustainable development and improving livelihoods throughout the African continent.
Velafrica’s comprehensive approach not only addresses mobility challenges but also promotes social integration within Switzerland and economic empowerment in Africa. We invite the management team at Velafrica to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further highlight their impactful work and expand their reach.
