Meet Blessing

In Blessing’s own words.

My name is Blessing. I live in Vea, Ghana with my family. My birthday is October 27, 2023. I love to dance. When I get older, I want to become a doctor.

“Blessing is a very friendly girl.”

The Context

Blessing’s world.

Blessing 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.
