Bikes for Education in Rural India
HOW A SIMPLE BICYCLE CAN CHANGE A LIFE. (#sponsored / link in bio ๐ @jessieonajourney) โ โ
๐โ โ
Despite education being a fundamental right of all children, in rural India, many children donโt have a safe or accessible way to get to school -- which has sadly led to high rates of illiteracy and school dropouts in these communities, especially among girls.โ โ
๐โ โ
The thing is, it doesnโt have to be this way, especially since there is a simple solution to the problem: A bicycle.โ โ
๐ฒโ โ
Not only can a bicycle make traveling up to five miles to school doable, but it can also help children arrive safely and avoid the harassment and assault that theyโre often met with when walking.โ โ

So, how can you help?โ โ
๐โ โ
Iโm currently working with The Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA (@vffusa)-- an organization committed to combating poverty and inequality in rural India -- to help get these life-changing bikes into the hands of children and get them the education that theyโre entitled to.โ โ
๐โ โ
The education that can lead to a lifetime of opportunities.โ โ
๐โ โ
The education that would empower these children to create their own futures.โ โ
๐โ โ
Each bike costs just $99 -- though you can donate any amount youโre comfortable with.โ โ

You can visit my link in bio ๐ @jessieonajourney to head straight to the fundraiser to donate.โ โ

Iโd also appreciate it if you could share it with anyone who might be compelled to donate and help give the gift of education to a child who may otherwise not have access to it.
