In Ghana, a women-run initiative to build bicycles out of local,


sustainable bamboo is turning heads. Ghana Bamboo Bikes has provided jobs

for over 30 bike builders, who produce bikes with less electricity and no

hazardous chemicals. Not only are the bikes light and stable, they can

handle rough terrain and can carry large farm loads and passengers.

We talk to founder Bernice Dapaah about her initiative.
