Masaka Cycling Club – Gravel Muster Charity Partner
The Shimano Gravel Muster is proud to partner with the Masaka Cycling Club Foundation (MCCF) as our official charity partner.
Masaka City lies in central Uganda, home to around 300,000 people living in a region still recovering from the social and economic effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Out of these challenges, the Masaka Cycling Club has created a remarkable movement of hope, empowerment, and community through the simple joy of the bicycle.
Founded in 2019, the Masaka Cycling Club Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run, 100% fan-funded humanitarian project that uses cycling to transform young lives. Supported by a growing network of more than 250 cycling fans worldwide, the club provides scholarships, nutrition programs, clean water, coaching, and equipment to over 50 children and young riders in a safe, supportive environment.
Many of these riders are now part of elite training pathways endorsed by the UCI (with some incredible riding stats) — and, most importantly, they ride with pride, purpose, and laughter.
One of the foundation’s greatest achievements has been breaking down gender barriers. More than ten young women now ride with the club, challenging cultural norms and paving the way for a new generation of female cyclists in Uganda.
Vision: We will bring global cycling together to remove barriers and fight for a more inclusive cycling community free of inequality.
Structure: 100% volunteer, 100% fan funded, 0% administration
