Afrika kırsalında ulaşım neredeyse tamamen yürüyerek gerçekleştirilmektedir. Yürümek, sağlık açısından faydalı olsa da eğitim, sağlık ve ekonomi açılarından bakıldığında taşıt araçlarından yoksunluğun ortaya çıkardığı önemli kısıtlar bulunmaktadır. Bu kısıtları bir nebze de olsa rahatlatabilmek amacıyla Re-Cycle ve VelAfrica çürümeye terkedilmiş bisikletleri Afrika’ya ulaştırarak CooP ve World Bicycle Relief ise topladıkları bağışlarla satın aldıkları bisikletleri Afrika’ya ulaştırarak hayatlara dokunmaktadırlar. Anılan sosyal girişimleri kısaca tanıtarak Afrika’da hayatların nasıl dönüştürüldüğünü göstermeyi hedefleyen bu keşfedici nitelikteki vak’a çalışması bu anlamda ülkemizdeki ilk çalışmalardan olmaya adaydır.

Bicycle Projects of Social Enterprises to Add Differences to Lives in Africa

Öz

Almost all transportation is based on walking in rural Africa. Though walking protects health nevertheless in terms of education, health, and economy; shortage of transportation vehicles creates significant limitations. In order to loose such limitations Re-Cycle and VelAfrica foundations collect thrown on the scrap heap bicycles and ship them to Africa and CooP and World Bicycle Relief foundations raise donations to buy and ship brand new bicycles to Africa. This study aims to introduce these social enterprises in short and aims to introduce how lives are transformed by these social enterprises. The current case study is exploratory in its nature and sits as one of the pioneers in this domain in Turkey.
