Monica’s bike saves her time and money!

Monica lives in Ping, Ghana, 40 miles north of the main town of Wa. There are no paved roads and no public transportation, even though there are numerous communities in the area. The road is too narrow for two vehicles to pass, and is used mostly by pedestrians and bicycles.

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. Monica plans to use the bike she received from your donation to buy staples at the Hang market, about 8 miles away round trip, and sell them in her local village.

Owning a bike will make Monica’s life easier and more productive. It will also increase her income and save her many hours every week.

Thanks, Patricia, for your donation!
