AVIF is an innovative online UK charity, assisting with sustainable development via online & onsite volunteering within rural Kenya. We can offer a range of simple but effective concepts such as small business, renewable energy, disease prevention, empowerment to women. KO2 Adventures Community Interest Company is due to launch in early 2011 and provides ...Dirtbiking for Life. We use electric dirtbikes to re-engage kids at risk of social exclusion, not only helping the UK meet their Every Child Matters outcomes, but lowering the costs of crime; financial and social, teaching a whole new generation to make a difference too, even to become i-Genii themselves!

Please see the AVIF website for details of progress made on all of our fantastic projects but KO2 is now also steaming ahead for its launch which may well be earlier than Spring 2011.
We've just been granted attendance at the fabulous IET Savoy Place in London for the 2010 Good Deals UK Social Investment Conference. We may well get a chance to pitch for investment but its ironic that it should be held here because the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) are the very people backing the electric powertrain technology that makes the electric dirtbikes we're going to use .. run!
Previous involvement in the first ever zero emissions motorbike race on the Isle of Man, with the IET, is the reason behind our decision to use electric dirtbikes and not the noisier, riskier, polluting petrol versions.
Being totally "glass half full" as i always am, worst case is I can pitch for a basic training package for the kids going through our programmes....sooo excited!!!!
