Meet Fadila

In Fadila’s own words.

My name is Fadila. My birthday is December 10, 2009. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.

The Context

Fadila’s world.

Fadila 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.
