Riders for Health works to improve the access to reliable transportation for health workers in Africa. The organization manages and maintains different vehicles for ministries and health-focused organizations in order to help them cost-effectively deliver vital healthcare to rural communities without efficient roads.
The organization provides training and preventive vehicle maintenance. By running reliable vehicle fleets they ensure that the chain in healthcare delivery is never broken by failing vehicles, thereby increasing health worker productivity.
The program provides training and employment opportunities to build local capacity. With a network of highly skilled technicians regularly traveling to service vehicles in the communities in which health workers serve, they don’t waste valuable time travelling to a garage when they could be with their patients.
In addition to training health workers to drive safely in the difficult terrain, workers are also trained to carry out daily checks on their vehicles.
