Tumaini means “hope” in Kiswahili.
Cycling.
Education.
Opportunity.
Tumaini Cycling Academy supports young
people in Goma through access to bikes,
education, mentorship, and developmental
support.
We are raising money to buy bicycles, build a bike shop, and connect children with opportunities that combine both.
A place to ride and grow
Young riders.
Real opportunity.
A bicycle can be transportation, freedom,
sport, community, and a way to discover
what you’re capable of. Tumaini works to
put those opportunities within reach for
young people in Goma.
With your support we can together provide the tools, equipment, and spaces that these children need to thrive.
Beyond the bike
Building confidence, connection, and possibility.
Tumaini is rooted in cycling, but the work reaches further. The academy connects young people with mentors, learning opportunities, equipment, and a community that is invested in their progress.
Support is practical and personal: helping young riders gain access to bikes and safe equipment while encouraging their education and development beyond the ride.
Connect with us to learn more.
Start somewhere
A bike can open a door.
Learning to ride creates momentum. Skills become confidence, teammates become community, and a simple bicycle becomes a way to imagine what comes next.
Community
Hope is something you build together.
Tumaini brings riders, families, coaches, and supporters together around a simple idea: young people deserve the tools, encouragement, and opportunity to move forward.
