Riders for Health is supported by motorcyclists all over the world and is the official charity of MotoGP and the FIM. And for their latest appeal, the motorsport community has donated some incredible items to raise money for the organization’s lifesaving work in Africa.
What’s more, all of the money raised from the online auction will be matched, pound for pound, by the UK Government helping to improve vital access to health care for thousands more people across rural Africa.
Riders for Health provide health workers in Africa with reliable motorcycles and four-wheel vehicles so that they can reach rural communities with lifesaving health care. They train them to ride and drive safely and carry out daily checks on their vehicle so that it never breaks down. Until September 12 the UK Government is matching all donations made by British citizens to Riders for Health. To make a donation with twice the impact, visit riders.org or call +44 (0)1604 889570.
