The Ghana Bamboo Bikes is one of the selected clients of the 2017 GCIC Incubation cohort. The Ghana Bamboo Bikes Initiative is a social enterprise that addresses climate change, poverty, rural-urban migration and youth unemployment by creating jobs for young people, especially women, through the building of high quality bamboo bicycles.

August 2nd, at a mini durbar in Brong Ahafo, CEO of Ghana Bamboo Bikes, Bernice Dapaah presented 34 bamboo bicycles to needy junior high school (JHS) students, farmers and health workers in Amasu in the Dormaa Central Municipality of the Brong Ahafo region. This gesture was done to providing commuting support to beneficiaries who travel long distances to schools, farms and health posts in the deprived communities in the region.

She shared that intensifying debates and concerns surrounding climate change especially in Africa, further fuels the drive of the business to produce more bamboo bikes which are durable, eco-friendly and locally-sourced, immensely contributing to climate mitigation and adaptation.

Barimah Dei Kusi Gyabaah II, Ankobeahene of Dormaa Traditional Area, expressed sincere gratitude to Ghana Bamboo Bikes for their support in filling an important developmental gap in their area. Find more information here.
