Meet Asaana

In Asaana’s own words.

My name is Asaana. My birthday is June 2, 2020 and I live in Ghana, with my family. I love to read, and my favorite subject is science. In my free time, I love to play with empty cans.

“Asaana wants to be a doctor when she grows up.”

The Context

Asaana’s world.

Asaana 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.
