Meet Kelvin
In Kelvin’s own words.
My name is Kelvin. My birthday is March 27, 2017. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.
The Context
Kelvin’s world.
Kelvin 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.
Kelvin has a sponsor.
Someone already walks with Kelvin. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
