The Challenge
In Uganda’s Busoga sub-region: children are dropping out of school and teenage pregnancy is rising; women and youth struggle with poverty, unemployment, and limited access to socio‑economic services; pregnant mothers and children cannot easily reach health facilities; and domestic violence continues to undermine family wellbeing. Weak governance leaves citizens excluded from decisions on accountability and service delivery, while environmental degradation, climate change, and poor waste management threaten sustainability.
At the centre of these challenges is limited affordable mobility. Without reliable transport, access to education, health, livelihoods, and civic participation remains limited.
The Change
A bicycle can make a change! To empower vulnerable communities accessibility is essential—and the bicycle provides it in an eco-friendly and sustainable way.
Since 1997, FABIO has been operating in Uganda’s Busoga sub-region, leveraging bicycles as a strategic tool for social transformation. Through our initiatives, we improve access to education, healthcare, markets, and mobilise communities to participate in civic engagements including poor men and women, persons with disabilities, teenage parents, and youths to enhance access to socio-economic services.
FABIO envisions a society where all people are healthy, active, and enjoying equitable sustainable services.
