Using bikes to make a difference. The combination of integration work in Switzerland and development cooperation in Africa makes Velafrica unique. Since 1993, we have been collecting discarded bicycles, refurbishing them in social facilities, and exporting them to partner organizations in Africa. In 2021 alone, with the help of 35 partner workshops in Switzerland, we loaded 54 containers with 24,600 functional bicycles destined for Africa.
