Welcome to the Bikes of Barbados project by the Pinelands Creative Workshop (PCW). We are on a mission to create lasting change by using the power of social entrepreneurship.
Our Approach
Social Entrepreneurship
We're not your average NGO. We use business strategies to address social needs, ensuring our sustainability.
Partnership
Collaborating with Bikes for the World (BFW) since 2005, we collect donated bikes from the USA to support our cause.
Resource Mobilization
In an era of dwindling donor support, we've found an alternative way to fund our programs and fulfill our social responsibilities.
Our Impact
Empowering Youth
Through the Bike Project, we've supported over 230 marginalized and at-risk children and youth in 2018 alone.
Skill Development
From practical music training to digital media programs, we provide a range of opportunities to gain valuable income-generating skills.
Social Relief
We've provided support to 25 single, female heads of households, ensuring access to basic necessities and critical resources.
Our Collaborations
Against All Odds Program
Partnering with Variety the Children's Charity of Barbados, we reward special needs children who passed the BSSEC exam with bikes.
Community Initiatives
Alongside the District Emergency Organization (DEO) and the Barbados Red Cross National Society, we're involved in community clean-up and education initiatives.
Join us as we pedal towards a better future.
The Bikes of Barbados project is more than just about bikes - it's about empowering communities, fostering skill development, and making a positive difference. Your support can help us turn the wheels of change.
