Whether transporting goods over long distances or taking the family shopping, bikes are a huge part of life across Africa. Celebrate the workhorses of Malawi with these delightful cards made from banana paper and decorated with bark and leaves. Because they're handmade each one is unique and the passengers and vary a little from card to card.
The wonderful Cycle of Good was set up in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world, to provide training to local people in tailoring and bike mechanics. They use mainly recycled materials to make the products, in workshops made from soil eco blocks and powered by solar energy, making them incredibly sustainable. And if that wasn't enough all of this funds a children's centre which helps 2000 vulnerable children at any one time. It really is a Cycle of Good!
