  4. Places to Reside • Missionary work with Ugandan people of small villages. • Cost: 500 dollars • Near river and nearest market 18 miles • Essential to economy“Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP) led eight current students, four Class of 2009 graduates and three members of the Bucknell staff to Uganda for three weeks in July and August to establish a sustainable bicycle microfinance program. The summer effort involved distribution of more than 100 bicycles to needy families, training volunteers to keep the program running and holding seminars on bicycle repair. • The bicycles are essential to the economy in the small villages like Kona Nwoya and Lulyango in northern Uganda, which has been ravaged by a 22-year civil war, said Muyambi. They can be used to carry fare-paying passengers and to transport goods and perishable produce to market. They also can be used to fetch well water that may be located miles away, thereby allowing families more time to focus on making a living.More than 300 families applied for the bicycles, and those families who received one will contribute a monthly payment of $2 to a general fund to pay back just half the cost of the bikes. Proceeds will be used to buy more bicycles.”
