Cycling out of poverty and Uvumbuzi consulted a number of parties about the need and the opportunity for eduction in bicycle maintenance and repair. A large group of individual bicycle repairmen "fungis" are assisting boda bodas in basic maintenance of the bicycle: repairing flats and allignment. These repairmen often learn the profession from their fathers. The knowledge of these fungis is limited to simple Chinees and Indian bicycles that are being used as boda boda (bicycle taxi). Since the bicycle market is developing, and more and more models and makes are available, the knowledge of the local fungis for these type of bicycles (gears and brakes for instance) is often limited. Both formal as informal education for bicycle mechanics is non existant in Kenya. In this Cycling Blue project a nation wide acknowledged curriculum is being developed for bicycle mechanics. For this project we are cooperation with an organisation that has experience with writing curricula. This organisation will use existing international curricula to prepare a tailor made curricula for Kenya, that can be used by institutes acknowledged by the Kenyan ministry of education. And as the first secretary of the Dutch ambassy in Nairobi mentioned to us, the development of a curricula for bicycle mechanics will boost their status. In Kisumu the training will be available via the workshop in cooperation with a vocational training centrum in Kisumu.
