Alo-gibago can now attend community meetings!

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

Alo-gibago uses the bike to get to her farm and to the market several miles away. She buys millet at the Kandiga market, and then resells it in the market in Sirgu, 10 miles away.  In Sirgu, she buys ground nuts, and sells them in the Kandiga market.  Without her bike, she paid transport fare to move the goods back and forth, and she didn’t have enough time to go to the women’s association community meetings.  She says “The women’s group leader helped us get bicycles.  The meeting help me to know how to run my business, and talk better to my family.  Now I will be able to go more often, and I am very happy!”   

Alo-gibago also plans to share her bike with her son, who will be able to get to school more quickly and have more time for homework and family chores.

Owning a bike will save Alo-gibago many hours every week, and will help her and her son be more productive and successful. 

Aymnsoya is very thankful for your donation, Laurent!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
