Jole Rider is an education based organisation and registered charity, making positive changes by directly affecting the lives of children.  We do this through our education based programmes, involving the use of bicycles, enabling African children to get to school, books and resources to offer them more opportunities  to learn and also Xperience trips to Africa, to change peoples’ perspective of themselves and others.

Merlin (Re~Cycle's founder) met up with David and Helen, the founders of JOLE rider in the Gambia in 2004, and shared his take on setting up and running a bike reuse project.

They've been doing well since then, shipping bikes out and taking groups of UK school children to experience life in the Gambia.
