The French senator visit
The Bicycle Mechanics Institute was recently visited in #Khayelitsha, by French senator Sophie Briante Guillemont, representative of the French community living abroad, at Sénat and ASFE – Alliance Solidaire des Français de l’Etranger.
.
She was in #southafrica for various meetings, and was happy to discover the reality of our project, that aims to train 100 women from unpriviledege communities, to the basics of bicycle mechanics.
.
Indeed, in October 2023, our project was awarded by the French foreign assembly (Assemblée des Français de l’Etranger) the 1st prize of Sustainable Development.
.
Thank you very much once again, Alexandre Barriere Izard , for the connection. Your visit from both of you, means a lot to us
