Kofi is from Ghana and lives 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. This poor transportation means that people walk most places they need to go. Thanks to your donation Pradeep, Kofi received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Kofi is a farmer, and will use his bicycle to go to the farm, about 4 miles from his home. He says biking will be easier, and will leave him more strength for his work. Kofi grows cassava, plantains, and peppers. He sells his surplus produce to restaurants in Princesstown. Kofi is also looking forward to having more time to spend with his family. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Kofi and his family, and makes life a lot more productive!
