Meet George
In George’s own words.
My name is George. I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. My birthday is July 7, 2017. I love playing football, and my favorite subject is math. I also love dogs. When I get older, I want to become a lawyer.
“George is a hard-working student and is one of the top students in his school.”

The Context
George’s world.
George 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.
Sponsor George.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide George with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds him.
