Ebenezer is excited to ride to school and the family farm!

Ebenezer lives in Assin Kruwa, a farming village that borders Kakum National Park in southern Ghana, home to Ghana’s largest remaining native forest. The village is at the end of a rough road and has about 2000 residents. Five or six mini-buses make the round trip daily to the village, but the area is very rural.

Thanks to your donation, Ebenezer received a bike and was taught how to take care of it. Ebenezer is 16 years old and will use his bike to ride to the family farm, 5 km away, where they grow cacao and cassava. He will also ride the bike to school. Without a bike, he had to walk hours every day in the hot sun. His mother bought him the bike and has big plans for Ebenezer to do the family’s errands on the bike. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Ebenezer and his family, and makes life a lot more productive!

Ebenezer is very thankful for your donation, Sarah! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
