BamBuilders
Bambike Builders (aka BamBuilders) are incredibly skilled craftsmen. They hand-build the greenest bikes on the planet.
Nel, Ferdie, Ramil, James, and Fred (shown from left to right) are all members of a community development program called Gawad Kalinga (GK). They live in the rural town of Victoria, Tarlac in the Philippines. Before they were building Bambikes they were working a number of part-time jobs, driving pedi-cabs, welding, farming, and other odd jobs as day laborers.
Gawad Kalinga’s mission is to build communities to end poverty. Bambike shares GK’s vision of a poverty free Philippines and contributes to the cause by hiring GK villagers, providing them with sustainable livelihoods. The Bambuilders now work full-time at the Bambike workshop, inside the community where they live, close to their families.
