Asidi Joe rides instead of walks 6 miles, saving hours every day!

Asidi Joe is from Princesstown, Ghana, at the end of a wretched gravel road 18 km from the main coastal highway. The road is so bad that taxis won’t go there unless you pay 10 times the standard rate. For several weeks during the rainy season the road is cut off, and travelers must wade through thigh deep mud to transfer from a landlocked car to another car bound for the outside world. The four or five vehicle round trips each day are made by minibuses contracted by the town to make the trip. The lack of transportation means people walk most places they need to go.

Asidi is a farmer, and thanks to your donation, received a bicycle and learned how to care for it. Asisi will use his bicycle to go to the farm, about 3 miles from his home. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Asidi and his family, and makes life a lot more productive!

Asidi is very thankful for your donation, David!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
