Testimonials
I am very happy to know that they came all the way from Ibarra to deliver several bikes with this project. Today, they delivered five bicycles to our institution, the "Horacio Drouet Calderón"school, which not only promotes cycling but also encourages the students to study, and even to wake up earlier, so they can take a ride on a bike.
I would like to sincerely thank you for the support provided to the "Casa De Paz" foundation por la donación de bicicletas a los niños de nuestra institución y de la comunidad, la «Compañía de Jesús». I believe this is an innovative initiative, as it promotes physical activity and sustainable economy. It also fosters values in children such as trust, responsibility, perseverance, and respect for others. El día en que se entregaron las bicicletas fue un momento mágico que lleno mi corazón de alegría, haciendo de este proyecto un gran gesto de amor hacia quienes más lo necesitan.
Being part of the "1 Bike, 1 Smile" initiative as a sponsor with MYA Digital Marketing Agency has been a deeply rewarding experience. Seeing the emotion and smiles of the children when receiving their bicycles reminded me of the importance of valuing the small things in life. It was moving to reach communities where people often feel forgotten and to share a moment of joy and hope with them. Additionally, this trip reminded me of how beautiful our Ecuador is and how, with small actions, we can contribute to a better future. Because in the end, what truly matters is leaving a mark on the lives of others.
Our Story
At "1 Bike 1 Smile," we transform unused bicycles into opportunities for children and young people in vulnerable communities. We were founded in 2018 as a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative of Arias Track Bike. Today, our mission is to promote the circular economy and sustainable mobility in Ibarra and throughout Ecuador.
Since then, we have grown year after year, adding volunteers, partners, and more smiles with each delivery. We recover, repair, and deliver bicycles, reducing waste and promoting social inclusion. Every donation, every bicycle, and every effort counts toward building a more inclusive and eco-friendly world.
Join the change and let's work together on the path to a brighter future on two wheels!
