Kaaramwine can visit her father with her bike!

Kaaramwine Sonbaare, lives in Ping, Ghana, 40 miles north of the main town of Wa in far 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.

Kaaramwine can use the bike to visit her farm, about a mile away. Her family will also be able to use the bike. But mostly, Kaaramwine is delighted that she can now visit her father’s family in Kanne, about seven miles away, which is too far for her to walk.

Owning a bike will make Kaaramwine’s  life easier and more productive, and allow her to help her family more easily.
