Bikes for the World is a sponsored project of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), a 501 c 3 non-profit charity established in 1975. Remember, a bike is a ticket to work, to school, or to health services in many parts of the world. Past Collections. Many thanks to close to 80 generous community organizations which sponsored collections in 2009, and those to date in 2010, contributing their ideas, labor, space, and credibility to supporting our efforts, helping us collect and ship/donate 8,950 bicycles over the course of 2009 and several hundred so far in 2010, and providing a valuable service to donors--putting their old bike to good use!--and to recipients overseas--who gain mobility and a greater chance to help themselves. 2010 collections YTD: MARCH - MOTHER SEATON PARISH Germantown MD
