HIV/Aids is a significant issue in Africa and requires constant focus to treat and prevent. In Tanzania and South Africa, Community Healthcare workers distribute and administer Anti Retro Viral drugs to HIV/Aids patients on a daily basis.
In 2009 DBL teamed up with Bicycling Magazine through their program- Bikes for Africa, to ship bikes to both Tanzania and South Africa for distribution to Healthcare workers. These bikes allow 10 times more patients to be seen daily, than if these workers were to travel on foot.
