BAP awarded the Clinton Global Initiative Outstanding Commitment Award
Through fundraising efforts at Bucknell University, Muyambi Muyambi was able to commit to create the project Bicycles Against Poverty, which will provide at least 100 bicycles to low-income families in the district of Gulu, Uganda . Each bicycle will be shared among a group of five individuals who will maintain the bicycle and contribute 1000 shillings (50 cents) every month to go towards expansion of the program.
