Meet Justin

In Justin’s own words.

My name is Justin. My birthday is November 6, 2019. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.

The Context

Justin’s world.

Justin 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.

Someone already walks with Justin. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
