Meet Akenselisa
In Akenselisa’s own words.
My name is Akenselisa and my birthday is November 23, 2016. I live in Ghana with my family. My favorite class in school is English. My favorite animal is a sheep. I love singing. When I am playing outside, I enjoy collecting stones.
“Akenselisa wants to be a nurse when she grows up.”

The Context
Akenselisa’s world.
Akenselisa 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.
Sponsor Akenselisa.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Akenselisa with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds her.
