Meet Obed
In Obed’s own words.
My name is Obed Ayanoore. My birthday is September 1, 2012. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.
The Context
Obed’s world.
Obed 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 Obed.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Obed with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds him.
