Subject: [carfree_network] Help, Bycicle Organization in Dar es Salaam

 

Hallo grupo,I have received this email, I would like somebody can help them

 

This email is to inform you that a group of cyclists in Dar es Salaam have
recently set up UWABA - Umma wa Wapanda Baisikeli Dar es Salaam.  We also
recently registered as an NGO with the Government.

 

Our aims are to make cycling a safer and and more pleasant form of transport
in Dar es Salaam and to promote cycling as a sustainable means of transport
for the city.  Among our immediate activities are establishing contacts with
the relevant Government authorities so we can participate in road planning,
promoting workplaces to become bicycle friendly by installing washing
facilities and taking part in events such as the Tanzania Social Forum.

 

I am from Ireland originally although I have lived (and cycled) in Dar es
Salaam for many years, while our chairperson and the majority of members are
Tanzanians who use bicycles, tricycles and disabled-hand-cycles as their
common means of transport in the city.  So far we have 45 members and we
meet regulary every Saturday.

 

We hope you are interested in this initiative and can support us in our
efforts by putting us in contact with relevant people and giving us advice.

 

For further details see our website  <http://www.geocities.com/uwabadar>

Best wishes
