Glads House is a charity that aims to help street children return to a ‘normal’ way of life.  The charity aims to get as many of the children and young people back into full time education or onto apprenticeship schemes.

The bicycle project, 'Glads House Bikes', has been established as a not for profit company to repair and sell reasonably priced and good quality bicycles to the local community.

The project is in collaboration with Mombasa Olympic Youth, established by a former Kenyan Olympic athlete and social worker, Fred (Bokey) Achola.

The project will provide cheap transport to assist young people start working for themselves.  This will either be for affordable transport to and from work or to assist them with their work (carrying and/or delivering).
