Bawku District is one of the most isolated, arid, and poorest regions
in
Ghana. The Peace Corps has made it a priority to focus its efforts in
disadvantaged
areas such as Bawku to more directly address the challenges of poverty,
and has assigned 32-year-old Susan Rosely to work as a community
development
volunteer with the Community Welfare Foundation (COMWELF),
a local private development agency. Since arriving in late 1999, Susan
has
assisted COMWELF
to design and implement programs. From the beginning, Susan saw that a
few
of the most successful small business people owned heavy one-speed
bicycles
that they used for productive purposes, such as the carrying of goods
for
sale. Thus, Susan and COMWELF understood that bicycles were an
economically
and culturally appropriate means of transport locally.

Baisikeli Kenya
Following the abolition of import duties on bicycles in July 2001,
Kenya
has seen strong growth in imports of new, single-speed bicycles for
Productive
use by both urban and rural populations. However, the $55 price of
Imported
models is still, on the whole, outside the financial reach of the vast
majority
of low-income Kenyans. With this in mind, an experienced group of
development
professionals established Baisikeli Kenya in May 2003 to make transport
more affordable, while doing so on a financially-sustainable,
large-scale
basis. In mid-June, Pedals for Progress shipped an initial container of
400+ bicycles, plus spare parts and accessories. Baisikeli Kenya will
recondition
and sell all bicycles received, beginning on a Pilot basis in urban
neighborhoods
of the capital city of Nairobi, targeting low-income teachers, office
and
health workers, students, and laborers.
