My Nonprofit Reviews

There are a few things I really like about World Bicycle Relief. First, the bicycles they deliver to people in need are purpose-built for the conditions. A standard bicycle would not last long in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi or the other countries served by WBR. The Buffalo Bicycle is tough, durable and lasts a long, long time. Additionally, the parts are standardized so that if a Buffalo Bicycle does break down, it is easy to get it fixed.

Another thing I like about WBR is that they are focused on maximizing the impact per dollar. They have a field team to assess locations where the bicycles will deliver the most impact. After the bicycles are deployed, they follow up to measure the impact, constantly refining their model in an effort to continually improve. And the data shows that their model is working!

Lastly, the people who work at WBR are smart, engaging and passionate about the work they do! They are a great team!
