Meet Joshua
In Joshua’s own words.
My name is Joshua. My birthday is May 3, 2014. I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. I love to read, and my favorite subject is English. In my free time, I love watching football (soccer).
“Joshua wants to be a police officer when he grows up, and he loves cows!”

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