As a commitment to our purpose to "enrich mind, body, earth and soul with the freedom of riding", we recently sponsored the delivery of 55 bikes to children's charity Anjali House in Cambodia.

Anjali House supports 120 vulnerable and at-risk children and their families by providing them with free food, running water, education, healthcare, access to social work services and the arts.

Anjali has usually used a tuk tuk to transport 55 children who don't own bikes to and from school. Due to budget constraints, the tuk tuk is now unavailable and they requested funding for 55 bikes so all children can ride to school on their own bike.

The following post is written by Jess Blackledge, Communications and Management Support at Anjali House.

A HUGE thank you to 99 Bikes, an Australia-based bike company who generously donated $2,300 to Anjali for us to buy these swanky bikes for our students! Many of our Anjali students do not have a consistent, reliable form of transport to get to Anjali, or to public school, so they often double (or triple!) up on a bicycle, which is not ideal.

Thanks to 99 Bikes, these students now each have their very own bicycle to get to and from Anjali everyday, and to get them home safely. They also all have helmets, and we will be conducting a Road Safety Training to ensure everyone rides as safely as possible!

So thank-you so much 99 Bikes! Our students were very excited this morning when they arrived to a whole load of new bikes waiting for them! From everyone at Anjali: thank you for your kindness and generosity!

All 99 Bikes employees donate 1% of their salary to a charity of their choice and we have a big goal of donating 100,000 bikes to those most in need. Read more about our purpose at pedalgroup.com.au.
