A beautiful and inspiring initiative coming out of Ghana is the Ghana Bamboo Bikes. Basically,
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.
Its a breath of fresh air to see such an initiative making responsible use of natural materials to promote a healthy lifestyle and be a source of income to the indigenous young people.
