BYKA Launched In Ghana

The town of Assin Fosu in Ghana is now home to BYKA-Ghana, a small startup bicycle assembly and repair company focused on giving youth an opportunity for work, education and career opportunities. The EWAY Foundation has provided the initial bikes that will be used to train and promote the service.

The local farmers and students will benefit because they will be able to reduce the many hours they currently walk to work or school.

Unlike other programs this is not a charity for each person has to purchase the bikes. Financial assistance is given by those businesses supporting the program and the plan is to also support a local NGO “Dolly Foundation” which helps fund government medical insurance for children.

BYKA will be launched in several African countries with programs being planned in Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Liberia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and possible programs in Uganda.

Bicycles are assembled in country with plans to introduce manufacturing for specific add on features.

Those businesses or groups wishing to support the start up can contact the “Dolly Foundation” directly at dollylove201060@yahoo.com – or visit their website at http://dollyfoundationghana.webs.com/

Support Change Through Media

The Following Organizations are helping stop abuse and avoiding the propaganda shown by news agencies paid by corporations or influenced by governments. Tired of the 30sec news clip that has no depth or the news programs that changed from reporting the news to "Providing Entertainment News"

Ghana - Youth Program Started - Helps Community

In August 2012 a Ghana NGO was engaged to help with the launching of a Bicycle Assembly and Repair company that will provide training, jobs, and support for those who spend many hours each day walking to school of work.

The EWAY Foundation has provided initial support by purchasing 4 bikes that will used to train and promote the concept. Near by businesses are helping transport the bikes from Accra to the shop which has been donated by the Dolly Foundation - a NGO in Ghana that raises funds to pay for childrens medical insurance.

As time progresses the company will provide further training on motorcycles and welding plus business skills.

The intent is to make the business self supporting after some intial capitial is gathered.
