Ever wondered what a day in the life of a healthcare worker in The Gambia is like? It’s time to see. I had the opportunity to travel through rural parts of The Gambia, Africa to see the amazing and impactful work that Two Wheels For Life do. They support the mobility of healthcare in areas where the roads would be considered more like a ‘fun enduro track’ to many of us. Without the 300+ motorcycles and 100+ vehicles many would be left with absolutely no medical help. The sounds of that two-stroke entering their village must be an incredible noise to hear.
It’s time to get behind the scenes. I’m riding the Yamaha AG motorcycle with Two Wheels for Life and visit some incredible villages in rural Gambia.
In part one you will see everything you need to know about the incredible work Two Wheels For Life so to support the mobility of healthcare in Africa. Watch here: • Motorcycles save lives...
As the official charity partner for the Goodwood Festival of Speed and MotoGP, Two Wheels For Life are a charity worth checking out - especially if you are in it motorcycles or motorsports!
As brand ambassador for Two Wheels for Life I'm on a mission to raise enough money to buy them an additional motorcycle for their Gambian programme.
For many people across Africa the only way of reaching medical care is to walk miles by foot, travel the bumpy roads on a donkey and cart or get pushed in a wheelbarrow. And many do not not make it at all. Two Wheels for Life works to ensure healthcare reaches people in the poorest and most remote parts of Africa - using reliable, appropriate vehicles including motorcycles. This is a charity for moto lovers!!
Two Wheels For Life support a fleet of over 400 vehicles, including Yamaha AG 100 motorcycles in The Gambia alone.
They have a zero breakdown policy supported by extensive mechanical training to both the healthcare workers and the network of facilities across The Gambia for vehicles to have regular services. Here, if a vehicle breaks down it means medical support stops and that could quite literally mean a life being lost. They also train them on riding and provide safety gear for a holistic life cycle for use.
Without them, there would be zero ambulances or healthcare vehicles in The Gambia - zero!! That's something I personally want to continue to support and have a dream of utilising my channels to fund raise for an additional bike!
I feel honoured to be here supporting the charity with the incredible work they do, which includes a programme focused on getting women into engineering through their training programme. Girl power!!

I hope you also feel inspired by the work they do. It's an honour to be working amongst such brands and individuals.
Every extra soul who sees this is a step towards greater awareness, support and hopefully donations. "I hope I can use my channels to help spread the word, please help me by sharing" Vanessa ❤

Many thanks for doing this Vanessa. I really is quite humbling to see how much bikes can help out so much in these areas. People having to walk miles each way to get to somewhere that may or may not be open with family members is incredible. The bikes are clearly helping a lot. The scary part was at the end where a truck is stuck in the sand blocking the road for other vehicles that may be transporting medical supplies. Two Wheels For Life is an incredible organisation, anyone who can afford to help out should consider doing so. Many thanks for sharing.

Very well said, thank you so much for weatching, I am glad you are able to see how significant and life changing this charity is, and you are very right about the truck, thankfully it wasnt too long until they were able to get it moving again, but yes it really shows how vital motorcycles can be, as alot of the roads are sand. Thanks for watching

Thank you so much for supporting this charity. I made my donation separately on the web. The link in the video didn’t go directly to the donation page. I don’t know if it was just my iPhone or what. Best to you and your Team!

When there was none, a little healthcare goes a long way! I bet now that you became a mum yourself, you see Two Wheels for Life with completely different eyes. Especially in pregnancy, there are so many things that can go wrong with a mother's health that are easily fixable. All it takes is the means to provide what's needed. 🤗 As I guess Two Wheels for Life are still in touch with you, may I just remark that a silly old Krautlander thought a co-operation between Senegal and The Gambia for a common air rescue would be a bloody great thing? The populations of both countries in the region combined should roughly be in the range of what one helicopter can provide with emergency transport capacity. If some air force had a heli with a reasonable amount of hours working life left on it and they'd be willing to donate it (And one as back up, maybe? (Or two? 😁)), this would be a huge help. I am confident there are maintenance facilities at Dakar at least where they could take good care of the aircraft. I worked in helicopter maintenance in the late Nineties. Back then, BO-105s still were widely used as air rescues. These helis couldn't do much more than come collect their patient and deliver it to the closest hospital as quickly as possible. That still rescued countless lives. For such an air rescue, none of the wonderful Gambians and Senegalese would ever have to die due to an appendicitis or a dead foetus in a womb and similar health issues ever again! That, Dear Vanessa, was a most lovely video! 🤗😍
