Qhubeka is a global charity that moves people forward with bicycles in Africa.

Qhubeka is an Nguni word that means “to progress”, “to move forward”.

Bicycles help people move forward. With a bicycle, a person can travel faster and further, and carry more. Bicycles help people to change their lives.

They are an accessible, reliable, affordable form of personal transport.

People earn bicycles through Qhubeka's programmes, improving their access to schools, clinics and jobs.

In the face of extreme and persistent poverty, bicycles can change lives by helping to address socioeconomic challenges at the most basic level –helping people to get where they need to go.
