Akabiya gets more help from her children when they can ride the bike!

Akabiya lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana. Thanks to your donation, Akabiya received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Akabiya shares the bicycle with her two children ages 14 and 17.  They will all share the bicycle to go to the land they farm, the market and to school.  The farmland and market are three to five miles away, and walking is very tiring in the hot sun and time consuming.   She says “The children are happier to help me with the bicycle!  It is far far to walk, and we are happy to ride our bicycle!” Owning a bike will save Akabiya and her children  many hours every week, and will help her be more productive and successful.

Akabiya is very thankful for your donation, Kristin!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
