Avorrake and her daughter are grateful for their new bike!

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

Avorrake will use her bike to improve her business selling Patasi, a beverage she makes and sells at community events. When she is not using the bike, she shares it with her daughter who can ride to school 3 miles away. Using a bike allows her daughter to do the household chores she is responsible for, and still arrive at school on time. The teachers are very strict, and punish students who are late.  The girl has more time for homework, and for helping her family. Avorrake said,  “Riding the bike will save me a lot of money on car fares, and I will have more money to buy food for my children!” Owning a bike will save Avorrake and her daughter many hours every week, and will help them be more productive and successful.

Avorrake is very thankful for your donation, James and Julie!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
