Atiiba will use her bike to improve her small business!

Dear Shannon,

Atiiba lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana. She is a farmer and also sells phones and phone cards. Thanks to your donation, Atiiba received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it. Atiiba uses her bike to go to her farm, which is two miles away, and to the larger towns in her area, which are between five and eleven miles away.

Owning a bike allows Atiiba to ride to town instead of paying private transport fees, which are very expensive in Ghana because there is no public transportation. In the larger town she is able to buy goods not available in her town, and sell them at a profit to her neighbors. Owning a bike increases Atiiba’s productivity and saves her a lot of time!

Atiiba is very thankful for your donation, Shannon! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
