Ayetiboh and her son love their new bike!

Ayetiboh lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana.  She is a homemaker, farmer, and community activist.  Thanks to your donation, Ayetiboh received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it. 

Ayetiboh uses her bike to run errands in the town, about a mile away from home.  Now she can carry her goods back to her home on the bike, instead of carrying them on her head while walking. 

On every school day Ayetiboh lends her bike to her 15 year old son, who is a good student.  Riding the bike allows him to get to school on time every day.  Most students have many morning chores at home, such as feeding animals and hauling water, and it makes it hard from them to get to school promptly.  Ayetiboh said “Now my son can get to school quickly. Because he is not spending as much time walking, he helps me to fetch water to make porridge to sell.”   Owning a bike will save Ayetiboh’s family time, money and help them all be more productive.

Ayetiboh is very thankful for your donation, Sarah!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project
