linked to Bicycle Sponsorship Project & Workshop P.O. Box 1537 Jinja, UGANDA |
We are:
a non-profit, non governmental
organisation linked to the "Bicyle Sponsorship Project &
Workshop" which is supported by "Jugendhilfe Ostafrika
e.V." in Germany
FABIO is especially sponsored by the DED (Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst)
We are located at:
Plot 9, Main Street, Jinja
Our objectives are:
support the users of bicycle in Uganda, especially the professional ones like bicycle-taxi-riders (boda-boda) and transporters of goods
provide and collect all data relevant
regarding bicycles in Uganda to make possible and effective bicycle
development
We do:
organise events to draw people´s
attention to the bicycle as a sustainable means of transport
as there are:
bicycle rallies & races exhibitions video shows seminaries of bicycle maintenance provide a library on the topic of bicycles as a sustainable means of transport - open to the public road-safety lessons at schools offer consultancy-services for other NGOs who consider bicycles as a sustainable means of transport
Our motives are:
total lack of statistic material about bicycle use in Uganda:
How many persons use them?
For which purpose?
How long can they be used till they are wrecked?
On which roads are they used?
and many others.
environmental awarness:
the bicycle is a non-poluting, affordable vehicle that does not
need big roads and lots of
parking space, nor does it depand on petro
for most of the rural population the bicycle is the only affordable vehicle and they need more support
