We Provide Bicycles to Communities Who Need Them Most!

Do Something NOW!’s goal is to deliver a minimum of  150 bicycles per year to deserving groups who can benefit from them in these areas of need. The recipients include: military families, Survivors of Torture, refugees, children who have been abused or sex trafficking, orphans of parents who died of AIDS-related illnesses; healthcare workers increasing their ability to serve patients from one person per day in the countryside to four in the same time frame; and schools whose bike gifts are based on student's GPA and attendance records. It is important to note that the students who receive bikes have improved attendance, higher GPA's and better graduation rates. Refugees who receive bikes are less dependent on social services to help with transportation.

• At present, delivery of these bicycles is expected to cost about $2-300 per bicycle. This includes delivery costs, helmet, pump, and repair kit.

• The African bicycles are specially designed to be used in rural areas with rough roads. They have one gear, coaster brakes and thick, thorn resistant tires.

• We have forged a partnership with Qhubeka, Pride n’ Purpose (Sir Richard Branson’s foundation in South Africa), Rotary Clubs in Encinitas USA, several Rotary clubs in South Africa, and Survivors of Torture, International Refugee Committee, other NGO's to do the on-site distribution of these bicycles.

• Find and partner with local NGOs and institutions to distribute bicycles.

• Educate how bicycles can improve lives and communities.

• Seek corporate partnerships to underwrite fundraising and overhead costs with 100% of private donations going to bicycles.

• Produce two fundraisers per year.
