Cyclo Nord-Sud is a non-profit organization that works to reduce social inequalities through the use of bicycles. With the support of volunteers, we provide access to bicycles for all. To become a volunteer for a day or several months is to feel useful, to have an impact by improving the lives of people in need. It also means being part of a community where mutual aid, listening, good humor, sympathy and joie de vivre are the key words! |
