Introduction / Donate
When we go out for a bike ride, it’s easy to take things for granted such as well lit streets and designated bicycle lanes. In Belize, not only do these precautions not exist, but bicycle travel is many children and young adults primary mode of transportation. With 18% of automobile crashes involving a bicycle, that is an alarming and incredibly preventable statistic.
As part of its Bicycle Safety Initiative, and after a successful pilot project, Believe in Belize is providing this service capability to install bicycle reflectors to people (especially children) throughout Belize. Basically reflectors are donated to local participating organizations to install the reflectors in their respective area within Belize.
If you want to donate reflectors you have four options:
- Donate money through PayPal / Debit Card / Credit Card and we will purchase the reflectors and give them to a participating organization in Belize (donations are tax deductible based on applicable US tax laws).
- If you are travelling to Belize or are currently in Belize, purchase the reflectors from a local retailer and donate them directly to a local organization or install them yourself on bicycles in your area (e.g. contacting a school, church, police department, etc.).
- If you are travelling to Belize, purchase them before travelling then donate them directly to a local organization or install them yourself on bicycles in your area (e.g. contacting a school, church, police department, etc.). You can purchase them from your preferred source or Amazon Smile and help us too.
- You can purchase specific ones on our list https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/3VAR8I04FAZT3/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl and Amazon will ship directly to our location in Maryland and we will get them to Belize.
Under options 2 and 3 above, please contact us and provide a short update (who you are, where the reflectors were installed, approximate number of bicycles served) so that we publicly thank you on our website for your support and track the progress of this service.
If you are a non-profit in Belize (school, church, etc.) or Belizean government agency (e.g. police department) interested in participating as an installer of the reflectors please contact us .
