Naapong is a nurse in Ghana commuting six hours a day just to arrive at work. Then he spends his day visiting patients. Now that he has a bike he has significantly reduced his commute time and can see more patients in a day. "The bike has helped reduce my travel time, save on transport costs, and relieved me of the burden of purchasing one at open market prices."
