Born in the heart of Kilimanjaro, Moshi, I’m Said Juma, a Tanzanian youth deeply passionate about bicycles. Having worked as a bike mechanic and tour guide for years, I seized the opportunity to professionally learn bicycle mechanics.

Filled with excitement, I couldn’t keep this knowledge to myself. I firmly believe in sharing skills and knowledge as a gift that lasts a lifetime. So, after opening my own bike shop, I initiated a project called “Bike Pro Craft.”

Every week, our bike shop transformed into a vibrant classroom, buzzing with eager young minds. The mission was clear – to teach and inspire the youth with valuable skills. Alongside two other bicycle mechanics I’ve trained, we envisioned a future where these young individuals, armed with practical knowledge, would become invaluable contributors to our community.

Our goal extended beyond  economic growth. I witnessed a community embracing sustainable transportation through bicycles. The vision it to nurture a love for cycling and understanding its mechanics, fostering a more environmentally friendly and healthier society.

Week after week, the Bike Pro Craft project flourished, and so did the skills and aspirations of the young learners. They weren’t just becoming mechanics; they were evolving into ambassadors of change, weaving a story of empowerment, sustainability, and progress in the heart of Kilimanjaro, Moshi.

And that, my friend, it’s a story behind our sustainable project – a narrative that propels us towards providing knowledge, skill, and a brighter future for our beloved community.
