Yakubu Sakara uses his bike instead of walking 14 miles daily

Yakubu Sakara is a farmer in Konjiahi, Ghana.  His farm is seven miles from his house, so the bicycle  he received last week  from Village Bicycle Project saves him a lot of time. Without a bicycle he has to walk that distance, fourteen miles round trip, six days per week. He goes to his farm every day except Fridays, the muslim day of prayer. By riding instead of walking he saves at least 2 hours every day, and he has more energy to get the farm work done. Improved productivity helps his family get ahead. Yakubu let his neighbors use the bicycle to do errands, too, which makes everyone lives easier.
