Kutum is excited to ride her bike, instead of walk!

Kutum is from Konjiahi, Ghana and shes uses her bicycle for many things. This picture was taken the day after the Village Bicycle Project repair workshop where she got her bike, and learned repair and maintenance skills, in late October.

Kutum said that she will ride to the main town of Wa to buy a bike rack to carry her harvest of maize.  After drying the maize, she will carry it on her bike to Kperisi (about 2 miles) from Wa for grinding.  She will also use the bicycle to carry her pots and pans to her farm so that she can cook for her family while they are working.

During the dry season when there is less farming work she will use the bicycle to go three miles to the quarry where she breaks rocks for a living. Without the bicycle she had to walk to all of these places and she wasn’t able to carry as many things.

Thanks so much for your donation, Devin, and for making Kutum’s life better!
