Dan Austin and his brother Jared started 88Bikes in 2006. They recently visited Nepal, one of four designated countries to receive 300 bicycles raised through donations.

The Austin brothers started the organisation when they were on a trip to Cambodia. At the end of their trip, they decided to donate their bicycles to an orphanage. But a selfless act that brought happiness to two orphans, the Austins realised, left out 86 other children at the orphanage.

The foundation is providing 125 bicycles to children in the four shelters run by SAATHI, an NGO that works for women's and children's rights.

Dan shows one of the girls where the donor lives on the world map.

Local mechanics will provide on-site maintenance for the bicycles.

The list keeps track of the children who receive the bicycles.

A picture of the new owner is sent to the donor who provided the bicycle.

Each child is responsible for looking after their new bicycles, said SAATHI.

Young ones wait in line for their bicycles.

The really young ones were given tricycles.
