World Bicycle Relief

World Bicycle Relief is a nonprofit social enterprise that designs and distributes purpose-built Buffalo Bicycles to individuals in low-income rural regions around the world. Founded in 2005 by F.K. Day and Leah Missbach Day in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami, the organization has since helped accelerate the journey out of poverty for more than 5 million people across 28 countries. Its model combines bicycle mobility solutions with trained local mechanics and accessible spare parts, enabling communities to achieve independence and access healthcare, education, and economic opportunities.
