Adiya uses her bike to attend important events for her family!

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

Adiya uses her bicycle to get to the land on which she farms with her family and to the market several miles away. She will also use her bike to attend the women’s community association meetings, which provide good information on health issues, and on how to take care of home and family.   “It is important to go to meetings to share ideas on how to give advice to our children so they grow good, and how to live with our husbands so there are no problems,”  she says. “The bicycle helps me go to the meeting because I can then go straight to the farm [afterwards].” Before Adiya had the bike she was not able to attend many meetings. It took too much time away from the time she could spend working on their farmland or in the household.

Owning a bike will save Adiya many hours every week, and allow her to attend events that are important for her and her family. 

Adiya is very thankful for your donation, Klinton!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
