Meet Abiiro
In Abiiro’s own words.
My name is Abiiro. My birthday is March 28,2013. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.
The Context
Abiiro’s world.
Abiiro lives in Vea, a farming village in Ghana’s Upper East Region — one of the poorest areas in West Africa. She attends school here, walking along unpaved roads through the savanna each morning.
In Vea, families depend on a single rainy season — just three months — to grow an entire year’s food. Only 9% of people in the district live within walking distance of clean water. The groundwater itself is contaminated with fluoride levels above WHO safety limits.
Abiiro has a sponsor.
Someone already walks with Abiiro. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
