This simple transportation solution utilizes existing capacity to provide desperately needed ambulance services in sub-Saharan Africa. Designer Niki Dun developed the original Bicycle Ambulance as a graduation project at Vancouver’s Emily Carr Institute. Upon graduation she took the design to Africa where she worked with Transaid and the Salima Garage and Welder’s Association to test and refine the design. Schematics of this design are provided free of charge to communities who need them and in this way, the design continues to be customized and improved. Today the ambulances are used in villages all over the region.
