Abia saves time with her new bike, and her son gets to school on time!!

Abia lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana. She is a homemaker, farmer, and community activist.

Thanks to your donation, Abia received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it. Abia uses her bike to go to town to run errands about a mile away. She can carry her goods back to her house on the bike, instead of carrying them while walking. She also lends her bike to her son, who is a good student. Most students have many morning chores at home, such as feeding animals and hauling water, which makes it hard for them to get to school promptly. Riding the bike allows him to get to school on time every day. Abia said “The bicycle has helped us a lot because if I want to go to any place, like a meeting, I can go fast and still come back in time to cook for the children.” Owning a bike will save Abia’s family time, money and help them all be more productive.

Abia is very thankful for your donation, Adam! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
