Meet Latifa
In Latifa’s own words.
My name is Latifa and my birthday is December 16, 2018. I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. Science is my favorite class at school, and I also love moulding. My favorite animal is a goat, and I would like to be a nurse when I grow up.
“Latifa loves watching cartoons.”

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