Atia has more time for work and family thanks to his bike!

Atia is from Princesstown, Ghana. 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, as riding the bus can get expensive!

Atia is a farmer, and thanks to your donation, he received a bicycle and learned how to care for it. Atia will use his bicycle to go to the farm, about 3 miles from his home in Princesstown. He has been walking there every day and is looking forward to having more time and strength for farming when he rides his bike. He is also looking forward to having more time to spend with his family. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Asidi and his family, and makes life a lot more productive!

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