Series of photographs of prototype Malawi Cart

	6. Carrying general merchandise (soda and sugar) to a grocery store. Shopkeepers can afford to employ a handcart because its use soon pays for its purchase in savings on transport expenses. In addition, income might be generated by selling space on the sides of the carts to advertisers, who can have their logos painted on the carts.
	7. The cart body can be removed without the use of tools, thus enabling the frame to carry long poles or planks tied to it. The advantages of this method over that of a wheelbarrow are manifold. Other forms of cart body, tailored to specific functions (passengers,   vending, water, etc.) can be readily mounted on the basic framework.
	8. A village artisan assembling bicycle wheels from components (hubs, spokes, tubes, tires) for use in building handcarts at Livingstonia Technical College's Production Workshop. Handcart construction will create many such jobs, as well as generate employment for sawyers and carpenters.
	9. Small-scale mass production of handcarts at Livingstonia Technical College's Production Workshop. The availability of woodworking machinery greatly reduces the labor cost required to manufacture each cart.This savings can in part be passed on to the consumer, making the handcart more affordable and the manufacturer more competitive.
	10. A village carpenter (in red jacket) who has come to Livingstonia Technical College for a short course in building the bicycle-wheel handcart. He is shown measuring the prototype cart and being tutored in the fine points of construction by a LTC instructor. This carpenter was then given a pair of wheels and some fasteners. He returned to his home and proceeded to fabricate a handcart, taking four days to complete it from    scratch. Technical colleges and other extension agencies (agriculture, primary health) can serve to disseminate this technology to carpenters   practicing in rural areas by holding short workshops in handcart construction.
