Meet Abraham

In Abraham’s own words.

My name is Abraham, and I was born on June 5, 2014. I live in Ghana, where I go to school. I love to learn at school, and my favorite subject is science. When I grow up, I want to be a soldier.

“Abraham loves playing football (soccer).”

The Context

Abraham’s world.

Abraham lives in Vea, a farming village in Ghana’s Upper East Region — one of the poorest areas in West Africa. He 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.
