Dimension Data's CSI initiative, Qhubeka, uses bicycles to connect individuals to schools, clinics and jobs. Communities with limited transport are restricted, and bicycles are being used tools of change.

Having bicycle means people can get where they need to go and do things that are difficult without transport, like fetching supplies, travelling to school or work, visiting a clinic, or providing emergency help after a disaster. A bicycle is a tool that helps people move forward.

Felencia de Kock is one such beneficiary who, with the help of a bicycle, now enjoys better access to education, a faster mode of transport, and more freedom to do the things she loves.

As part of Dimension Data's 'Heads, Hearts and Hands' CSR programme, the company celebrates both Felencia's future and Qhubeka's success.
