The bamboos are strong, meaning that the bicycles are also strong and durable. The bicycles have been in use for almost 10 years - Bernice Dapaah

In my culture, where age and gender impact on social status, being young and a woman is sometimes difficult, especially when meeting potential clients or business partners who can be judgmental. However, this has never stifled my potential or discouraged me. It’s the importance of sustainability for our future that keeps driving me to overcome these sorts of obstacles .

I see entrepreneurship as a calling, not as a last resort for those who are looking for employment in the formal sector and not finding it.

I have come to learn to be patient and not give up too quickly. It takes patience and persistence to bring new and innovative products and ways of doing things to a community.
