Meet Josephine
In Josephine’s own words.
My name is Josephine. I live in Vea, Ghana and my birthday is November 14, 2017. My favorite subject in school is Science. My favorite animal is a pig. When I am outside, I like riding my bicycle. I also love singing.
“Josephine would like to be a nurse when she grows up.”

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