Bikes for the World began in two thousand five. “自行车服务全世界”开始于2005年。
Since then it has shipped more than forty thousand bikes to communities in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, says director Keith Oberg. 从那时起,这一项目已经通过海运输出了超过4万辆自行车到非洲,拉美以及加勒比海岸。 执行人Keith Oberg说
Bikes for the World partners with nonprofit groups in the United States to collect unwanted bikes. “自行车服务全世界”的协作者们会同美国的一些非盈利组织收集闲置的自行车。
Then it works with nonprofits in the other countries to get the bikes to organizations and individuals that need them the most.
然后,它再与其他国家的非盈利组织合作,使得这些自行车能够到达最需要它们的团体和个人手中。
For example, the Bicycle Empowerment Network Namibia uses the bikes to provide transportation for health workers. 例如,纳米比亚的自行车授权网使用自行车为医护工作者提供运输服务。
