| $60 buys a bicycle. Community health workers need to get around – they are volunteers who provide basic but life-saving door-to-door health care services like ensuring patients take their medicine, and distributing mosquito nets to prevent malaria. Many communities in Africa have no public transport so community health workers rely on bikes to improve people’s health. GIVE NOW |  |
