Kwami Akoto is a 37-year-old married father who lives and works in the village of Wome. In the local language, Ewe, his first name indicates that he was born on Saturday. To provide for his family, Yawo picks up passengers and their baggage along the road, as seen in this photo, and drops them off at their destination. This service is always in demand in Wome, as there is no electricity in this village and people must often travel further than walking distance to take care of business. Yawo has asked for this loan from Kiva so that he can buy a new motorcycle in order to satisfy his customers. With the profits he will earn from his business, Yawo can continue to send his children to school and provide his community with this essential service.
