Transport4transport foundation

Qui sommes-nous

Transport4Transport is a Dutch foundation, established in 2008, that focuses on improving transport in Africa. The idea to set up a foundation to stimulate small-scale entrepreneurship in transport and small-scale transport projects is a result of a trip by board member Bé van der Weide with a number of other Drenthe entrepreneurs and students to Malawi in 2005.

Our main goal is to improve transport to clinics and hospitals in Africa. We aim to provide 1 bicycle ambulance for every 3 villages. The bicycle ambulances are produced in Africa.
