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.

Post a reply if you are interested in helping out.
