Meet Precious

In Precious’s own words.

My name is Precious, and I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. My birthday is June 1st. In school, my favorite class is English. My favorite animal is a sheep. I love singing.

“Precious wants to be a nurse when she grows up.”

The Context

Precious’s world.

Precious 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.
