Meet Damian

In Damian’s own words.

My name is Damian, and I was born on March 19, 2016. I live in Vea, Ghana, where I go to school. I like to read, and to my favorite subject is Science. When I grow up, I want to be a soldier.

“Damian loves dogs and playing football (soccer).”

The Context

Damian’s world.

Damian 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.
