During the month of May, VaVaVroom is encouraging customers to “Shop to Save a Life".  Literally. VaVaVroom will donate 10% of May online motorcycle jacket sales to an African focused organization called Riders For Health. The goal of this not-for- profit organization is to provide basic healthcare needs to Africans living in remote, hard to reach locations. Riders for Health has been recognized by the international business consultancy OC&C in 2005 as providing sustainable development benefits in Africa by creating a self sustaining organization. In other words, Riders For Health is the real deal - they are making tremendous, life saving differences in Africa and they are being officially recognized for doing so. 

The main idea behind Riders For Health is to train healthcare professionals (many of whom are women) to ride and maintain motorcycles to be able to reach more Africans in need of basic healthcare. One healthcare professional may be responsible for up to 20,000 people. Motorcycles are cheaper and easier to maintain than cars, not to mention they are easier to handle on many of the atrociously maintained African roads.  Immunizations for common killers in Africa such as measles and malaria are the bulk of the healthcare services provided. 

Please check out the link below to VaVaVroom’s newest product - the fashionable, versatile, and sleek new 1.0 Riding Jacket. This is your "must have" jacket of the season.  10% of all online jacket sale proceeds will be donated to Riders for Health for the month of May, 2011. VaVaVroom is proud to support such a life changing organization. For more information about Riders For Health, please see link below.
