# Question: Can I work in your programmes in Africa?
Answer:
Riders does not use volunteers in any of its field programmes. All of the staff that Riders employs in its field programmes are nationals of the countries in which we work. Our policy of creating a sustainable solution to transport problems in Africa means that we are unable to accept these generous offers.
All of the health workers that use our motorcycles in Africa are employed by the national ministries of health, or other local agencies, not by Riders. The staff that Riders does employ in Africa provide the regular preventative maintenance to make sure that the bikes keep running. We also have staff that train health workers in safe vehicle handling, and in the basic vehicle maintenance that keeps vehicles on the road between services. To manage the fleets of vehicles and the maintenance programmes and schedules effectively also requires a programme team in each country.
Because our innovative work is managed by wholly-African teams, and not by volunteers or western expatriates it means that Riders is able to build a lasting base of knowledge and a culture of maintenance in the communities in which it works.
