The 1,000 Bikes Campaign raised more than $75,000 and was led by LO Ambassadors who hosted bike rides and community events around the world inspired by the bravery of young women who challenge harmful gender narratives to pursue their dreams of education, empowerment and sustainable change at home. 1,000 Bikes was initially conceived to meet our goal of providing 1,000 bikes for access to education for our beneficiaries but it’s immense success led us to dedicate the funds raised from events to access to education programs and scholarships for the girls that LO supports.
We are delighted to introduce you to 1,000 Coffee which is the next iteration of this amazing worldwide community event. We invite you to join us! Spread the word, make a monthly gift, or host a ride! Learn More.
