More than 100 bikes heading from Griffith to Samoa to improve the lives of girls

The 110 bikes were gathered by the Soroptimist group in Griffith, part of an international movement to improve the lives of women and girls, as part of the organisation's 100th birthday.

The local community were asked to donate bikes in good condition with a volunteer restoring each one.

Buying a new or second-hand bike can be difficult for Samoans earning a small income of less than 10 tala (or $A5) a day, said the president of Soroptimist International Samoa, Leniu Asaua Faasino.
