Meet Issabella

In Issabella’s own words.

Hello, my name is Issabella. My birthday is December 3, 2016. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.

Issabella is her parents' last born. She is a good singer and is a member of her church's children's choir.

The Context

Issabella’s world.

Issabella 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.
