15 First Aid staff members in Malawi received a bicycle from Cycling out of Poverty in 2008

In 2008 Eva de Maya in Malawi was supported by Cycling out of Poverty to buy 15 bicycles for First Aid staff memebers. Now, in 2010, these bicycles are still in use. These bicycles make it possible that the volunteers do their work and combine it with their monthly training at Eva de Maya. The first aid centres are far from Eva de Maya (ca. 10-25 km) and if they would have to do it on foot it would be less efficient. Eva de Maya: “In our area a bicycle is still a luxury, and it offers a lot of benefits to our staff.” The staff is not paid and these bicycles are provided to them as a recompense. This project is a success in will be continued.
