Meet Godfred
In Godfred’s own words.
My name is Godfred. I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. My birthday is September 1, 2014. I love reading, and my favorite subject is science. My favorite animal is a bull. When I get older, I want to become a soldier.
“Godfred loves watching war movies and aspires to serve as a soldier when he grows up.”

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