Located at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, OneBike is a social enterprise that uses bicycles to empower and improve the local community through education, environmental awareness and promoting sustainable tourism.

Transport is a crucial issue for most rural people in Tanzania. It’s expensive and unreliable, so people regularly walk long distances to access basic services such as school or healthcare facilities and to the market which may be the main source of income for families. Movement is a major factor in economic and social inclusion and development. People in remote areas, and women in particular, are often limited because of their restricted mobility, being unable to reach places because of cost or logistics. Bicycles are known to be a significant tool for dealing with that restricted mobility.

One Bike donates bicycles, including tools and spare parts alongside basic mechanics training to people in disadvantaged or marginalised communities. The bikes and the skills to maintain them offer people easier access to essential services, and open up opportunities to engage in education and employment outside of their immediate location.
