Larriba and her son know their new bike will make life easier!

Dear Jennifer,

Larriba lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana. She is a farmer and her 12 year old son is a student, whom she will share the bike with. Thanks to your donation, Larriba received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Larriba’s son taught her to ride the bike, which she is very excited about. She will use her bike her to carry her produce, get where she needs to quickly, and ride to the Kandiga market. In rural Africa, most people walk everywhere they go because there is no public transportation. Larriba says,”“I now know how to ride a bicycle, and I can go any place fast! My son goes to school 2 miles away, and he uses the bicycle to get there fast!”” Her son says, ““I use the bicycle, I take it to school! I don’t get there late, and it gives me time to do other things.” Owning a bike saves time and money, and makes life a lot more productive!

Larriba is very thankful for your donation, Jennifer! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
