World Bicycle Relief and HireEducation Provide Bicycles for Students in Rural Developing Countries

DENVER - April 13, 2017 - PRLog -- World Bicycle Relief and HireEducation– a Colorado-based recruiting firm focused on Ed Tech- team up to help students in Africa access education. For every job placement that HireEducation makes, a Buffalo Bicycle is donated through World Bicycle Relief, a global non-profit that designs and delivers high quality bicycles to students, health care workers and entrepreneurs in rural developing countries.

HireEducation believes in the philosophy of giving back and has woven charitable giving into its business model. Since the inception of this partnership in 2014, HireEducation has provided 157 bicycles to students- helping them stay in school and achieve their academic goals.

Many students in rural developing regions face the challenge of long walks, sometimes 2 hours or more, to school. A high quality bicycle reduces travel time by 75%. Data highlights a 28% increase in attendance and a 59% increase in academic performance for students with bicycles.

"We live and breathe education and were looking for a new partner to support. We also happen to live in what some call a 'Bicycle Mecca,' Boulder, Colorado. When we saw the educational outcomes that are tied to bicycles, we had to support World Bicycle Relief," said Mark Phillips, CEO of HireEducation."We are thrilled to join World Bicycle Relief in promoting the freedom, mobility, and independence that comes with owning and riding bicycles. We especially love that kids do better in school with bicycles."

HireEducation hopes to deliver even more Buffalo Bicycles to students in need in 2017.
