Job shadow announcement

14th May 2025

This morning, @bicycle_mechanic_institute settled in one of our student (from our last April session, in Langa) : Kamva ‍

Kamva will be there 2 full weeks, in order to learn and to practice more, and to get a bigger experience on the field !

We were, as well, very happy to say hello to Sinesipho (our first student lady) – who is now employed permanently, in this bikeshop, after having completing a job shadow, too !
Sinesipho was very excited to welcome a newbie at the workshop ! We are sure you will be a great team together

We wish you all the best Kamva !

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.
