Meet Awinbire

In Awinbire’s own words.

My name is Awinbire. I live in Ghana, with my family. My birthday is June 1, 2019. I love writing, and my favorite subject is English. I also love dogs. When I get older, I want to become a teacher.

“Awinbire would like to be a teacher when he grows up.”

The Context

Awinbire’s world.

Awinbire 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.
