Meet Daniel

In Daniel’s own words.

My name is Daniel. I live in Vea, Ghana and my birthday is May 5, 2015. Science is my favorite class in school. I love dogs. When I am not in school, I like to play football (soccer) with my friends or make crafts with paper.

“Daniel would like to be a soldier when he grows up.”

The Context

Daniel’s world.

Daniel 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.
