Meet Anaba

In Anaba’s own words.

My name is Anaba Christopher. My birthday is January 26, 2014. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, with my family.

The Context

Anaba’s world.

Anaba 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.

Someone already walks with Anaba. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
