Who are Transaid and what do they do?

Transaid is an international development charity. We identify, champion, implement and share local transport solutions to improve access to basic services and economic opportunity for people in Africa and in developing countries.
We combine the expertise of the European Transport and Logistics industry with our long experience of working in the developing world. We partner with local communities, governments, donors and other organisations to achieve our aims and facilitate exchange of skills and knowledge gained from our projects. 
Transaid’s history goes back over 25 years and is strongly supported by the European Transport and Logistics Industry. Through combining this expertise with our longstanding experience of working in the developing world, we partner with organisations in the public and private sector including local community organisations, governments, institutions and donors to build capability and achieve our aims. This collaborative approach enables Transaid to provide innovative solutions to some of the key challenges facing transport and development today.
Transaid was founded by Save the Children and The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and our Patron is HRH The Princess Royal.  Read more here

Interested in a challenge and like to visit Tanzania? You can in 2015 with Transaid. 

Join me and some fellow adventurers for this once in a life time cycling adventure, covering an incredible 400km in just five days. 

This 9 day challenge takes us from two of Africa’s most stunning landmarks – Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro Crater. 

Starting on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, this cycle ride sees us pass through Maasai villages, savannahs, encounter Tanzania’s wildlife close up including colombus monkeys and baboons, and finally, finish in the safari paradise of the Ngorongoro Crater. We will experience a whole range of road surfaces from smooth tarmac to dirt tracks to sand. Transaid’s Africa challenges are designed to be just that – a huge challenge, but one that you will never forget, all while raising money for Transaid’s vital work.
