Introduction
For many children in rural India, the journey to school can be long, exhausting, and at times, discouraging. In 2021, the Hand in Hand Foundation took decisive steps to remove this barrier for schoolchildren in Bhaskararaopeta village, located in the Kalidindi Mandal area of Eluru district. Through hope and action, our initiative provided sixty-five bicycles—valued at ₹3,50,000—directly to those who needed them most.

Bridging the Distance: Why Bicycles Matter
Education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. Yet, lack of affordable and reliable transportation often forces children in remote villages to skip or drop out of school. With the allocation of new bicycles, our foundation has:
Reduced travel time for children who would otherwise walk many kilometers daily
Increased school attendance by eliminating a key obstacle
Inspired families to keep their children enrolled

In Eluru district’s Bhaskararaopeta village, the need was clear. Our volunteers coordinated with local educators and community leaders to identify those students who would benefit most. The program highlights:
Distribution of 65 sturdy, brand-new bicycles to rural schoolchildren
An investment of ₹3,50,000 fully funded by charitable donations
Special emphasis on empowering girls and children from marginalized families
Each bicycle came with basic safety tips and a heartfelt encouragement to keep pursuing education.
Immediate Impact and Future Goals
The effects of this project were seen instantly:
Children now arrive at school on time, eager and alert
Families report relief and gratitude for the support
The whole community witnesses renewed enthusiasm for learning
Looking ahead, Hand in Hand Foundation is committed to expanding similar mobility and educational support programs across other remote villages and districts.
Conclusion
Sometimes, the gift of a bicycle is much more than a mode of transport—it’s a symbol of trust, opportunity, and community progress. By partnering with Hand in Hand Foundation, our supporters helped 65 children pedal toward a brighter, more promising future.
