Gloria received her bicycle through the Earn-a-Bike Program run by Village Bicycle Project in Golokuati, Ghana.  She uses it to commute to and from school. The above picture was taken when traveling to and from interviews with former project participants where Gloria served as an interpreter and gave tool demonstrations to rural mechanics.

Thanks Judith for helping Gloria, and Village Bicycle Project!

Gifty participated in our Learning to Ride workshop.   She was the star pupil and she spent the entire evening after the program practicing on her own.  At about 10:00 she came by to ask us to clean up her bike before she went home to bed!  The picture above was taken the following morning.

Thanks Judith for providing Gifty the opportunity to learn to ride her bike safely!

Charles works as an administrator in Bornikope, Ghana.  He lives in Sege, which is about 15 miles from where he works so he rides that distance every day, saving himself time and money on transportation. Thank you Judith for improving life for Charles!

Aku loves to ride her bike!  She uses it to go to Sege, a town about 15 miles from where she lives.  In Sege she visits her friends, gets clothes mended and buys things she can’t get in her village.  She also carries seedlings and tools to the farm with her bike and she carries produce back from her farm.  Before she got the bike, she had to carry everything on her head while she walked and she finds the bike to be much easier.  She likes to put her baby in the front basket so that she can keep an eye on him while she’s riding.

Thank you Judith for changing Aku’s life!

Kornu has given his Village Bicycle Project bike to his younger sister (pictured).  She uses it to commute from Liati to secondary school in Koloenu, about seven miles away.  Without the bike, she would have to spend many hours waiting for public transportation or walking several miles to a main road where public transport is more readily available.  Having a bicycle saves her money and time!   Thank you Judith for keeping African girls in school!

This girl from the AD Wurie High School in Sierra Leone uses her new bike to get to and from school.  She uses the time she saves to do homework and help her family with chores.

Thanks so much Daryl for your donation!

Nine year old Mark now rides a 24″ Huffy and he rides it fast!  Mark lives in rural Sierra Leone. Thank you Daryl for giving Mark the joy and freedom of a new bicycle.
