Building Bicycles for Africa with Cadbury


More Travel Tips!..



Building Bicycles for Africa with Cadbury: "

We always love to find out about great new causes, especially great causes that make me have to eat chocolate!

The Bicycle Factory has teamed with Cadbury Canada to raise funds to build 5000 bicycles for school children in Ghana.

As we all know, bicycles are great for your health and for the environment, but in places like Africa they are a valuable mode of transportation. A bike gives people access to health care, school and other vital life services that they otherwise wouldn’t have to walk to.

The Bicycle Factory’s aim is to build 5000 bicycles for the people of Africa. All you have to do is enter UPCs from your favourite Cadbury products on their Facebook widget or at theBicycleFactory.ca.

Each UPC equals one bike part and it takes 100 parts to build a bike. With a goal of 5000 bikes that’s a lot of parts, so let’s get to work and eat chocolate!

For Canadians.

The Bicycle Factory promotion is for Canadians. So let’s show the world just how big of hearts we have up here in the Great White North.

About the Bikes.

The Bicycle Factory is doing a great job of reaching their goal, They have already built 1,661 bicycles.

The factory puts out single gear cycles with coaster brakes and a sturdy rack and basket on the strongest frame available. Each one comes with a lock and a basic repair kit, allowing owners to make basic repairs independently, if needed. The bikes are specially designed to hold up to life in Ghana and suit the needs of the Ghanaians.

Need Some Incentive?

Once lucky builder and their friend will be flown to Ghana to help distribute the bikes. This 10 day trip includes airfare, hotels, transfers and spending money. But most importantly it will give you memories to last a lifetime.

What do you have to do?

Enter your UPC code at either the facebook fanpage or their website The Bicycle Factory. Every UPC is an entry, so the more you enter, the more chances you have to win. And you have the added bonus of donating more parts because as you know, each UPC is a part of a bicycle.

What are you waiting for? Head on out to the nearest corner store and buy a Dairy Milk Bar, a mini egg, some gum, a Caramilk or any of your favourite Cadbury products and then head on over to facebook and give a kid a bike in Africa.

You will be changing a life.
