A pilot project by AfriPaw hopes to help poorer communities to access healthcare for their pets by providing 'bicycle pet taxis' that will transport their furry friends to animal clinic s. The project was launched in Vrygrond in Cape Town and hopes to help pet owners in the area who are too old to walk to the mobile clinic that the organisation deploys monthly to the parking lot at Capricorn Primary School.
The setup costs for one unit is R25,000 for the first year, thereafter it would cost about R7,000 a year. This includes the bicycle, cart, cage and the wages of the rider. “We are looking to have between five and ten taxis in the first year,” she says.
