Millions of people in rural Africa continue to die of preventable or treatable diseases because health care workers do not have the transportation to reach them.  Riders for Health, an international nonprofit organization, provides a solution and has developed cost effective transportation systems to deliver care to wide spread communities across Africa on a regular basis.

  Riders for Health ensures that African health care workers have reliable, motorized transportation as well as the necessary training in riding, driving, and maintenance. 

  Countries served           6 (Gambia, Kenya, Lesotho, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania)

  Vehicles managed         over 1,400

  People reached             over 11 million

• A 21% decline in malaria deaths has been measured in areas where all health workers are mobile.
• Lifespan of motorcycles and ambulances is increased by 300% when managed by Riders – even in the harsh conditions of Africa.
• Health care can be delivered to 5 times more people by motorcycle than on foot.
