Job Amponsah is a cocoa farmer. He uses his bike to go to and from his farm daily, about 5 km each way. He lives in the remote village of Nkrabea and travels with his bike to the nearest market town which is 6 km away. He says he is especially happy to have the bicycle because he can attend funerals in Kwamebikrom and Debiso that he normally had to miss due to lack of transportation.
The bicycle has helped him a great deal because his farm is very far from his house and now he is more productive because he has more time to work. He is definitely saving money because before the bicycle he would have to pay for transportation, equal to about $1.20 per day. Job learned a great deal during the repair workshop, but so far he has had no problems with his bicycle.
Job thanks Neil for his generous and helpful donation!
