Graphic Design to support the Ugandan Boda-boda

Image
I thought of a small way that I can use my design work to help the men in Uganda that I worked with on the Hoima Bicycle Project.   I’ve been creating some bicycle and skateboard graphics and selling the designs on things like shirts, mugs, stickers, hats, cards and buttons.   I earn a commission on each sale and will donate 50% of it directly to these hard working “boda-boda” and their families.   While it’s not much, consider that their average income is about $10 per week .  Check out the designs using the links below: Treadwater graphics Zazzle store (with all of the stuff) : http://www.zazzle.com/treadwater Treadwater graphics blog (with images of most of the designs) http://treadwatergraphics.blogspot.com/
