The Trust has supported this organisation over a number of years and again is sending cycling equipment and cycling tops for the students to deliver by hand when they go on the trip this summer.
For the past 18 years, the Bambisanani Partnership has operated in the most challenging rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in South Africa using the power of sport to transform lives. During that time more 20,000 young people from the UK and South Africa have engaged in the charity’s various projects and programmes. Key Bambisanani partner, The University of Leeds, introduced a pioneering cycling programme ten years ago which had a significant impact in an area where young people routinely walk 2 hours to and from school each day. The work led to discussions with KZN Cycling and a formal partnership which aims to train up to 5,000 young people a year how to ride and maintain bikes.
