Wiki-Bike believes that bicycles would be invaluable tools to improve living conditions in Africa, reducing poverty, improving access to health care, education, potable water, and combating climate change. They've just announced the African Bicycle Design Contest with the aim of producing a bicycle that is well-suited to the the needs of future bicycle riders in Africa.
The guidelines are pretty straightforward; the vehicles should be durable, sustainable, and able to be produced locally. 5 finalists will be chosen to have your ideas prototyped; then the best prototype will be delivered to Kenya, where the winning designer will train and assist a local team in the bicycle's production. To compete, get your entires in by September 30th.
If you're not keen on entering the competition, you can also join the design team in the Netherlands who will be responsible for prototyping the 5 finalists.
More information on both entering and joining the design team here.
