Ghana's bamboo bike man

Kwabena Danso grew up in the town of Yonso in rural Ghana. He had a tough childhood, but made it through school and went on to university. Rather than make his own fortune, Kwabena decided to use his qualifications to bring prosperity to others. He set up an organisation to start businesses which create jobs in rural areas. His latest venture is making bicycle frames out of bamboo which are then sold around the world.
