Momori will use her bike to increase her income

Momori is a piito brewer who lives in Guri in Jirapa district, 40 miles north of Wa, where the pavement ends. Momori buys millet, one of the ingredients for her business, at the local market.

Before she received this bike through your donation, she was limited by what she could carry on her walks. She would walk to the market, often 6-8 miles round trip,  and carry the grain home on her head.

There’s no public transportation except private taxis, even though there are numerous other communities , and no one owns a car.  The road is too narrow for two vehicles to pass, and is used mostly by pedestrians and bicycles who are on long journeys, like Momori.

There are few shops in this region, so most major trading is done on market days, rotating every six days among various towns and villages.

Thanks to your donation of a bicycle, Nancy, Momori will cut down on the time needed to make her product, she’ll be more productive, and she’ll be able to access new markets! Thank you for supporting Momori and her business growth!
