Hireco Proudly Supports Transaid: Life-Changing Bicycle Ambulances Deployed in Rural Zambia

At Hireco, we believe that transport has the power to change lives — and our partnership with Transaid is a true example of that in action.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Hireco-branded bicycle ambulances are now on the ground in rural Zambia, where they’re already making a real difference to communities with limited access to healthcare.

A Simple Idea Making a Life-Saving Impact

These specially designed bicycle ambulances are used by Emergency Transport Riders to safely transfer pregnant women with complications and children suffering from severe malaria to healthcare facilities when every second counts.

In many rural areas, families can live miles away from the nearest clinic, often with no access to vehicles or public transport. What seems like a small innovation — a simple bicycle with a stretcher-style trailer — becomes a lifeline, bridging the gap between home and hospital and ensuring that urgent care can be reached in time.

A Shared Purpose

For Hireco, supporting Transaid isn’t just about charity — it’s about shared values. As a business rooted in logistics and transport, we understand how vital safe, reliable mobility can be. Transaid’s work directly mirrors our mission: using the power of transport to create opportunity, security, and progress.

We feel truly humbled to have played even a small part in such meaningful work and to see our support translated into life-saving mobility on the ground. The dedication of Transaid’s team and partners continues to inspire us, showing how collaboration across our industry can bring real, measurable change to people’s lives.

Encouraging Others to Get Involved

Transaid’s work in Zambia and across Africa relies on the ongoing support of partners from within the transport and logistics industry. From training healthcare drivers to improving access to safe transport, every contribution helps expand the reach of these vital services.

We’d encourage other businesses and individuals to learn more about Transaid, explore their initiatives, and consider getting involved. Together, we can help extend this life-changing work even further.

A Message from Hireco
