Banogko Has Easier Access to the Market with Bicycle!

Banogko Ophilia, 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. Rao, your donation funds a bike and a course on repair for Banogko! Banogko can use the bike to get to market days and to visit her farm.   Also, Banogko is a charcoal maker; with a bike load carrier, she will take her charcoal to the market.  This will increase the amount she can carry, save her time, and increase her income.

Rao, thank you so much for making life easier for Banogko!
