Dipetsana Women’s Bike Shop

LOCAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Project description

Set up through Sanctuary Retreats Philanthropy, the shop employs five women, providing them with a much-needed income to care for their families. Through donations of used bikes, the Initiative not only supports the women, but offers the local community access to a vital means of transport. The women relish in the chance to give visitors a tour of their shop, and offer them the opportunity to partake in a scenic bike ride around Kasane. Guests then have the option to continue the tour to the neighbouring women’s basketry shop to meet the employees and learn about their craft.

This project contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda
