Rückenwind e.V. – Bikes for refugees
A project from Rückenwind e.V. in Berlin, Germany
In our workshop in northern Neukölln, (new) Berliners receive a bicycle that has been repaired with the help of volunteer mechanics. Here they can also learn how to repair bicycles and become active in our association.
Already 425 donations.
Join in too!
You will receive a donation receipt from betterplace (betterplace.org gGmbH).
About this project
Martin G. from Rückenwind e.V. is responsible for this project
english Version:
Many people who had to flee to Berlin have to cover long distances in the city: to offices, to school, to work, to shop or to German classes. A bicycle helps them to get around in a self-determined way, sustainably and inexpensively.
With our work, we want to support these people in their mobility. That is why volunteers from all over the world collect and repair donated bicycles in our workshop and pass them on.
In this way, we contribute to a "Willkommenskultur" that enables people in need to lead a peaceful and fulfilled life according to their own wishes and ideas in a safe and social community.
We need your help for our work!
Even though we try to reuse as much as possible, we often need new wear parts to repair the bikes, such as chains, brake shoes, pedals or new lights. However, workshop rent and the contribution for our volunteer with a refugee background are also fixed costs for which we are dependent on donations.
Please support us with your donation and contribute to better integration and more sustainable mobility on Berlin's streets. Thank you!
