We need your support
Support the Bike Scouts’ work of creating better awareness about the need for true local community resilience and response. The Philippines is a country that has been ranked the most disaster vulnerable country in the world for the past sixteen consecutive years. This is because 60% of the country’s land area is exposed to multiple hazards and 74% of the Philippine population is extremely vulnerable to the impact of disaster events.
The Bike Scouts Ride Across the Country for the Climate project is a direct and hyperlocal way of helping achieve this goal. We ride bicycles for thousands of kilometers every year to visit the most vulnerable places in the country to show that we are the first to practice the resilience that we hope to inspire others to participate in.

What we need most
Training
Equipment
Mobility
Training is a regular need for us, and we train in all aspects of our work from riding long distances to crossing rivers and high-angle access with our bicycles. The training we do requires resources to conduct the training sessions, maintain equipment, and provide a way for our technical instructors to sustain themselves.
Working on the ground in the aftermath of severe disaster events requires our teams to be prepared for any situation. The equipment we use are all rated for heavy-duty work and reliability. This is necessary for safety for our teams and the people we serve because of the conditions and situations that Bike Scouts teams often have to work in.
At the heart of the Bike Scouts’ response capability are our bicycles that allow us to access places cut-off by disaster events. For the past eleven years Bike Scouts has been the only one capable of access to the most isolated places in the aftermath of disasters using bicycles in the hands of experienced and capable response riders.
