At the age of 10, the founder of Wheels to Africa Winston Duncan started an organisation with a vision of sending bicycles to needy individuals in Africa.

This dream was what led to a partnership with the Oladiran Olusegun Adebutu Foundation to supply 200 bicycles to orphans and vulnerable children in 2016. In rural communities like Ibefun and several parts of Ogun state where a bike is often the only means to access food, water, markets, education, medical services, jobs and more, this grand gesture is a welcome development.

Today, Wheels to Africa has collected and sent over 7,000 bikes to Africa, bringing help and hope in a place it is needed most.

It was an evening of fun and her first train ride to Lagos and back home for 18-year old Toyin Aderibigbe who attends Doveseal College, Ondo state on the 1st of October, 2021. Toyin is one of the 300 vulnerable children that the Oladiran Olusegun Adebutu Foundation caters for in Ogun state and other parts of Nigeria. She was well assisted on the trip by one of our community care volunteers Barrister Dayo Adebisi. ⁣

The Vesta Orchestra is helping to change the lives of musicians by providing a performance stage for young, incredibly talented Africans pursuing careers in Performing Arts. It was founded by a group of musicians who saw the need to establish a world class orchestra, that would showcase the great talent available in Nigeria and Africa at large. ⁣

⁣On performance at the concert that evening were a number of interesting works by Nigerian composers. ⁣
