Bicycle projects contribute in a sustainable way to local community development of the target municipality, region or country. Projects aim to promote the use of bicycles as an alternative transportation method by making them accessible at a low cost. Immediate benefits should include the improvement of the living conditions of disadvantaged communities, specifically through better access to education and health services, greater empowerment of women, respect for the environment, access to microcredit, and creation of micro-enterprises. Cyclo Nord-Sud favours long-term commitments, which include sending multiple containers to its partners.
