Akongzeriba and her son save a lot of time with their bike!

Akongzeriba lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana.  She is a farmer, and her son is a teacher. Akongzeriba will share the bike with her son.  Their farmland and the school are both several miles from their home.

Thanks to your donation, Akongzeriba received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it. 

Akongzeriba and her son use the bike to go to work, go shopping and to get to their farmland. They purchased a cargo rack for their bike. Now they can easily carry all the things that were tough for them to carry when they had no bicycle.   They will use the bike to carry produce from the land they farm and deliver it to the Kandiga market. 

In rural Africa, most people walk everywhere they go.  Owning a bike saves time and money, and makes life a lot more productive! Akongzeriba said, “The bicycle helps a lot.  Because before we walk to many places on foot, so it has helped a lot!”

Akongzeriba is very thankful for your donation, Lesley!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
