Abogibobiga’s Life Runs Smoothly with a New Bike!

Picture 075
Dear nicola,

Abogibobiga Awumbase lives in the village called Kandiga, in rural northern Ghana. Thanks to your donation, Abogibobiga received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Abogibobiga sells fermented millet in the local Kandiga market. She will use her bike to go to the main town of Sigru, which is 17 km away, and carry the millet home. Mary has a load carrier for her bike, and can carry three times as much millet as when she was walking.  She will increase her income substantially, and she is very happy. She says “I will earn more money because of the bicycle. I will use the profit to buy more millet, and now my children can go to the market for me!” Owning a bike will save Abogibobiga many hours every week, and will help her business be more productive and successful.

Abogibobiga is very thankful for your donation, Nicola!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
