ICE Gift a Cycle Campaign

For the truly poor and disenfranchised, the mere concept of owning their own bicycle is itself a fruitless dream. Paired with the social stigma against woman riding bicycles, there are innumerable hurdles that young girls in Kerala must overcome to get the chance to cycle. We at ICE are taking a step forward in making cycling accessible to all, and we invite you to be a part of our movement.

Our friends and well wishers are donating Rs 50 a month or 600 a year to the ICE Gift A Cycle A Month program, which as it's name suggests, gifts a bicycle to a girl student who can't afford one every month. You can also be a part this movement.
