We support Transaid ! Women in Logistics is proud to officially announce that Transaid is our chosen charity. We are raising funds and awareness throughout the UK, to further Transaid's work in Africa.
Transaid Cycle Madagascar 2012
We have nominated Transaid as our chosen charity, our current Chair, Clare Bottle, had agreed to take part in an arduous fundraising challenge!
After the success of previous trips to Tanzania, Zambia and Kenya Transaid launched its next overseas cycling challenge! This time participants will ride across the north east of the incredible island of Madagascar, pass remote villages, paddy fields and tropical fruit plantations.
Funds raised from Cycle Madagascar will benefit the charity´s Professional Driver Training Project, which aims to improve driving safety standards in sub-Saharan Africa. Road crashes in this region are the third-highest cause of premature death after HIV/AIDS and malaria, and which the World Health Organisation estimates could take over as the primary cause of death and disability by 2020. Funds will also benefit programmes reducing maternal and child mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa and improving access to health in rural areas.
