Meet Augustine
In Augustine’s own words.
My name is Augustine. My birthday is August 28, 2017. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.
“Augustine is a smart and disciplined boy and likes to do things in an orderly matter.”
The Context
Augustine’s world.
Augustine 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.
Sponsor Augustine.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Augustine with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds him.
