Rita will get to see her parents more often!

Rita lives in a farming village that borders Kakum National Park in southern Ghana, home to Ghana’s largest remaining native forest, which is now about 3% of its original size. The village is at the end of a rough road, with about 2,000 residents. Five or six mini-buses make a daily  round trip to the coast highway, but the area is very rural. Thanks to your donation, Rita received a bike and was taught how to take care of it.

Rita will use her bike to visit her parents who live in the next village, 4 km. away. She stays with her aunt while she is in school, but misses her parents. Without a bike, she does not have enough time to visit them and also get her school work done. Rita learned to ride a bike last year when her brother taught her, and she is excited to own a bike. Everyone in the family is envious of Rita! Owning a bike saves time and money for Rita and her family, and makes life a lot more productive!

Rita is very thankful for your donation, Pradeep! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
