Ride for Change – 24 Hours, Two Continents, One Mission. We believe education should be a right, not a privilege. Yet, for so many young women in Ghana, barriers like poverty, lack of resources, and systemic challenges make that dream difficult to achieve. That’s why we’re taking action—with every pedal stroke.

This June, for two days, across two continents, Porridge and Pens UK will cycle alongside our incredible Girl Power students in Ghana to raise funds for education and school meals. We will be using two home exercise bikes, one at our Girl Power Centre in Kumasi, Ghana and one from sunny Brightlingsea in Essex.

Event Date: June 21st (Saturday) – 6 AM to 6 PM (UK time) June 22nd (Sunday) – 6 AM to 6 PM (UK time)

Where: Livestream from Ghana & UK

But this challenge is about more than fundraising—it’s about building connections and sharing ideas across borders. As we ride, we hope to bring some of the fundraising strategies that have worked in the UK to our Ghana teams!

Join us on Zoom! Anyone who wants to Zoom in with us can ask questions, meet our team in Ghana, and share words of encouragement. (Although fair warning—we might be a little out of breath!)

Follow Along on Social Media We’ll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and highlights throughout the challenge on our social media pages. Be sure to follow us to stay connected and cheer us on!

Here’s how you can be part of the challenge:

• Tune in live and send words of encouragement
• Donate to keep our wheels spinning for change ( more details to come)
• Share our challenge far and wide!

Every push of the pedals brings us closer to ensuring more young women in Ghana can thrive. Thank you.
