what we do

Bikes Mwerre serves the local Mparntwe community in fun and engaging ways that promote health and positive recreation;

  • Bike riding sessions - including road safety mapped to the national curriculum

  • Bike fixing clinics: providing tools, spare parts and assistance for participants to fix their bikes

  • Action-packed school holiday programs

  • Build a bike: targeted program where participants build up a bike to keep

  • We also organise family-friendly events, skill-building courses and tailored programs

We believe every kid deserves a bike, and that riding builds confidence, resilience, positive recreational culture and community

youth programs

We employ a community development framework, focussing on strengths and building up local capacity and assets.

This means engaging with schools, councils and other community organisations to design culturally responsive programs and events that really suit the needs and aspirations of the local community. Each project is different, shaped by the local community through ongoing consultation. Our activities and approach have been proven through numerous successful partnerships, and externally evaluated.

Through our programs we empower local community members, create employment and leadership pathways

We love to collaborate! Whether you want to team up to deliver programs in your community, or want to support us through sponsorship and donations, we want to hear from you!

partnerships

From regular workshop sessions to action-packed school holiday programs,

BIkes Mwerre serves the local Mparntwe community in fun and engaging ways that promote health and positive recreation. But of course - there's more to it than that.

We work with local communities to identify and realise goals that empower individuals to overcome social disadvantage, while addressing the barriers and providing support through asset creation and peer mentoring. Through forming relationships and using tools for engagement to learn from and amplify local voices, Bikes Mwerre creates opportunities and paths toward brighter futures.
