Meet Lovia

In Lovia’s own words.

My name is Lovia. I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. My birthday is July 30, 2019. I love drawing, and my favorite subject is Creative Arts. I also love cats. When I get older, I want to become a teacher.

“Lovia wants to be a teacher when she grows up.”

The Context

Lovia’s world.

Lovia 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.
