Bikes save lives – Pierce and The Eezer Initiative partner up
The Eezer Initiative (www.eezer.org) supports to reduce maternal mortality in Africa by using motorcycle ambulances. The aim of the initiative is to develop safe and cost-effective solutions for pregnant mothers in rural ajd hard to reach areas in Africa.
At Pierce we are always looking for ways to contribute to society. When we found The Eezer Initiative who are engaged in an important cause and using motorcycles, it was to no surprise we are willing to help in any way we can.
Lars Klingsbo, coordinator of the Eezer Initiative:
“Reducing maternal mortality in the African countryside is an extremely difficult task that requires passion, teamwork and stamina. We believe that together with Pierce we will be able to make an impact on this issue”
On our websites you can donate a minimum of €5 up to as much as you want. Every donation will be matched by Pierce. You can also volunteer to join Eezer in Kenya to see the operation within the Maasai Communities. You will assist on the bikes or from a support vehicle. It’s not a typical tourist experience – you will go where Eezer is needed. Travel costs will be on you. For more details contact: lars.klingsbo@eezer.org
About The Eezer Initiative
The Eezer Initiative is a network of individuals, organizations and businesses with the shared ambition to reduce maternal mortality rates in rural East and Central Africa by developing motorcycle ambulance services. In remote areas with poor road conditions, this drastically improves the chances of getting to a clinic in time.
Currently they have 30 units placed with different organizations in Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Tchad and Somalia. Some of the organizations that are using the Eezer Motorcycle Ambulance are governmental, others are private.
The ambulances are making a difference for many women and their families. The goal is to have 3000 Eezer ambulances operational in East Africa by the year 2030. It won’t be easy, but it will make a real impact!
