Trailer Sales






Good news travels fast and far...

The bicycle trailers were taken last week to an expo in Rwamagana, Rwanda (not too far from Kibungo). They were well received by the people (especially the children, see picture!) within the community and the word on the street is that the trailers are exceeding everyone's expectations.

Pictured is a young man who lives in Rwamagana. He is married and has four children. His hope is to make enough money to send his children to school. The picture shows him hauling grasses, corn and sweet potatoes from his field to his house about 3 kilometers away. The corn and sweet potatoes are the family's food for the day and the grasses will be used to feed his cow. He makes two or three trips like this a day. He also has to get water from a source about 2 kilometers away. The family uses 3 Jerrycans a day (2 for the family and 1 for the cows). The hope is that he can increase production and efficency in order to produce a surplus to sell at market to support his family's needs.

Here is a picture of a young man, his son and a bicycle, his new trailer will provide opportunities never before imagined!

Also pictured is the trailer manufacturing team working on a trailer frame! Stay tuned for more soon...
