Empowering Women and Girls Through Bicycles
In 2013, the 88Bikes Foundation changed the life of Elma, a 16-year-old girl from the Roma communities near Belgrade, Serbia. After defying societal norms to marry her boyfriend, Elma received a bicycle from the foundation, which she transformed into a thriving bike rental business. This initiative not only supported her family but also inspired countless others. The foundation focuses on providing bicycles to girls, especially survivors of human trafficking, to restore their self-worth and open doors to education and entrepreneurship.
