Bike Workshop

in the SKILLS FACTORY on Samos

An important and popular department is our Bicycle Workshop. Thanks to our maintained fleet of bicycles, displaced people can stay mobile in Samos and attend their appointments.

Our work in the Bike Workshop includes:

  • Maintenance and rental of our own fleet (approx. 25 bicycles) to ensure mobility on the island
  • Performing repairs for people living in the refugee camp as well as locals.
  • Training and exchange of professional knowledge for the repair of bicycles
  • Working with and supporting local bike shops

OUR IMPACT

  • Ensuring mobility on the island
  • Promoting independence, creativity, and teamwork
  • Reducing import and waste burden.
  • Preparing for the European job market
  • Promotion and appreciation of the craft of the bicycle mechanic

Department Sponsoring

To equip and sustain the Bike Workshop, we rely on the support of sponsors.

It is particularly important to us to purchase consumables directly on the island from our local partners, thereby supporting small, family-owned businesses.
