That's interesting to hear; I consider proselytizing offensive, especially in the context of a disparity of wealth or education.  But otherwise I am OK with working with religious groups too.

Also, should note that I have no particular opposition to working with religious charities in any capacity, even if they proselytize in the process.

I actually saw this the other day. Also, a fellow from the Bikes from the World charity got back to me today and I will forward that e-mail to you in a bit and give the whole bike/pamphlet hybrid angle some thought this weekend before getting back to him.

What is it about bicycles?  This guy's 'Delta screwed me' video led me to his involvement in building village infrastructure in Africa and to the charity he is affiliated with, which has an admirably practical focus.

(The charity's principals have religious interests (see titles of their past writings), but it is hard to assess from the website if this has concrete manifestations in their actual activities in villages.)
