Meet Jerome
In Jerome’s own words.
My name is Jerome. My birthday is September 30, 2016. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.
The Context
Jerome’s world.
Jerome 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 Jerome.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Jerome with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds him.
