brands to do good where they do business—direct-to-people,
hyperlocal, scalable, measurable, and genuine. It’s not CSR, it’s your

THE BIKE SCOUTS
TEAM
With nearly a decade of on-ground experience in almost all major
disaster events in the Philippines as the only full-scale
continuously operating community-based disaster response
system, Bike Scouts is a recognized platform for communities to
participate in social teamwork for resilience and social good. Bike
Scouts is the first and only platform to truly put social media and
the Filipino culture of “Bayanihan” to good use in times when both
are needed most.
We provide access to a network of support that allows ordinary
people to do extraordinary good, and we provide training and
tools for community-led disaster monitoring that localizes
response and makes reporting real-time and verifiable.
