Based in South Africa, the Qhubeka charity provides people with bicycles that change their lives – bicycles that help children in remote places get to school regularly or assist healthcare workers in visiting patients. With most of Africa’s rural population having no access to transport, bicycles are the most effective way of enabling access to opportunity, education, healthcare, shops and community services. Founded in 2004, Qhubeka has distributed more than 51,000 bikes, and with the help of MET, the Bluegrass Enduro Tour will help the charity deliver even more.
