Meet Phylix

In Phylix’s own words.

My name is Phylix. My birthday is May 11, 2016. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.

“Phylix is very intelligent. She pays attention to detail and is interested in Mathematics.”

The Context

Phylix’s world.

Phylix 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.
