In many remote villages where schools are scarce, many kids are required to walk on average for 4 hours a day to attend school, some as long as 8 hours. When provided with a bike, the children can then ride the 10-15km to get to their local secondary school.
Currently, only 50% of students attend secondary school, whereas the number of children at primary school (usually located in their own village) is closer to 85%. Global Hand Charity have sponsored 50 bikes so far (including 7 at Sister Catherine’s) but with your kindness and support we can potentially sponsor many, many more to help get these children to school.
