Millions of people decide where to donate their money because of flyers and newsletters. WOW - that means we need some creative, intriguing and emotional flyers that motivate people to join our mission! If you are creative and artistic, you can help us change lives in Mozambique without even leaving your desk.
Mozambikes uses promotional materials to spread the word about our initiative and specific fundraising events. We are also in the process to designing a series of bicycle safety pamphlets targeted to rural Mozambicans that will help them understand how best to use the bicycle, maintain and care for the bicycle, share the road with cyclists, avoid train tracks, etc. We need someone with a creative mind and an artistic hand to help us make materials that will scale our impact and make Mozambique a more bicycle friendly country.

Mission Statement
MSD is a non-profit organization seeking to provide efficient transportation - bicycles - to rural Mozambicans, and to improve bicycle safety throughout the country. MSD gathers donations from the international community to purchase bicycles at cost to be distributed to residents of Mozambique living below poverty line.
Description
The bicycle is a proven tool for development in rural Africa. An average woman spends 3-6 hours per day collecting 30 kilograms of firewood and 50 kilograms of water for her family each day. Moreover, she physically exerts herself in these tasks, as she must often walk kilometers for these chores with the weight of the goods on her head. A bicycle would empower her to take advantage of this time for revenue-generating tasks and reduce her fatigue in completing her daily chores.
Children also must complete similar chores, rendering them unable to attend school. Children who can attend school often walk kilometers to reach the facility. A bicycle would allow a student to reach the school quickly and invest the saved time into studying and preparing future generations for Mozambique’s development.
In addition to these two examples, Bicycles allow people to carry 5x the weight and move 4x faster than on foot. As a result, Mozambicans can carry more product, transport it further distances and reduce their travel time. In an economy where 80% of people work in the informal agriculture sector, bicycles directly enable people to increase their daily incomes. Moreover, bicycles provide access to clinics and schools that people could otherwise not reach by walking, reducing deaths from preventable diseases and increasing education and skill levels.
People can change the life of a Mozambican by giving them a bicycle! DONATE TODAY at http://www.mozambikes.com
