Program areas at WBR
PROGRAM ACTIVITIES WBR's program activities are designed to provide Buffalo Bicycles and supportive programming to the most vulnerable affected by distance, approximately 70% of whom are women and girls. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT For those World Bicycle Relief serves, the value of a bicycle is ultimately measured in the time and effort it saves. The value of the Buffalo Bicycle isn't in the object itself but rather in the function it provides. Buffalo Bicycles dramatically increase efficiency for its recipients - individuals at the lowest level of the economic ladder. (Continued on Schedule O)
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE As previously noted, Buffalo Bicycle Limited, WBR's wholly-owned social enterprise, allows WBR to leverage two of our three primary distribution channels: sales to individuals (e.g. farmers) through our network of small social enterprise retail shops (numbering 31 across five countries as of September 2020), and sales to organizations (e.g. Ministries of Health, UNICEF, U.S. Agency for International Development projects). (continued on Schedule O)
