ECODAC, Ewarton Jamaica

The Ewarton Community Action Committee (ECODAC) has been identified as a qualified non-profit agency that meets all of the criteria of a successful international partner for Pedals for Progress and we are seeking funds to facilitate the collection and shipment of the first container of bicycles as seed capital to ECODAC. The bicycles will be used in two ways, the first as a bicycle mechanic training program and the second will be a bicycle business that will be run by the students as business training. The sale of the bicycles will allow the youth to operate a business first hand as well as raise money for the operations of the center. This will benefit the entire community of Ewarton as it is a rural community where there is no public transportation system and the taxi fares are increasing every year. It is becoming more difficult for the people of Ewarton to travel to school, work and to bring their products to the local market.

We have a partner all ready to go with ECODAC, contracts have been signed the only thing we need now is to raise money to send the first contianer.

Price of Container to ECODAC: $5,000
Amount Raised to Date: $700
