Kildare County Council are now working with Rotary International and the Prison Services to take old bikes, repair them and send them to Gambia so that schoolkids who have a journey of five km or more can get to school more easily.
They are looking for repairable bikes to be brought to Silliot Hill, Kilcullen, where there is a designated container.
If you have a story or want to send photos or videos to us please contact the KildareNow editorial team. via our Facebook, via our email at content@kildarenow.com or on 045 409350 during office hours.
