How do you get your son to run your errands? Buy a bike!

Nana Kim lives in Ko, a village in Ghana’s Upper West Region. The village is about 15 kilometers from the Burkina Faso border. The landscape in the far north is very dry, and the climate means they only get one farming season per year, which makes life especially hard. To make up the difference, farmers often have very large farmlands, which are difficult to reach on foot.

Nana Kim is a widow and relies on her son and his friends for help and support. Thanks to your donation, Nana Kim was able to send her son to our program so he could receive a bicycle and learn how to care for it. He uses it to reach the family farm more often and more easily, and to run errands for his Nana.

Though the bicycle is shared, Nana Kim ensures it’s kept in tip-top condition and returned to the family home every night. Nana Kim is very thankful for your donation. Thanks Don and James for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
