Dabuo Kyemwaa will sell her products in distant market to increase her income

ping 17
Dear David,

Dabuo Kyemwaa, lives in Ping, Ghana, 40 miles north of the main town of Wa, in the Upper West region. 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. Dabuo can use the bike to get to market days and to visit her farm. Also, Dabuo is a shea nut butter maker, and will use her bike to take the shea nut butter  to markets in Heng and Ullo, 8 -10 miles away. Being able to sell in the main market will increase her income, and the opportunity for her family.

Thanks, David, for your donation, and for making life easier for Dabuo !
