Meet Rajiah

In Rajiah’s own words.

My name is Rajiah. My birthday is March 19th. I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. I like to help my teacher sweep and clean her classroom. I hope to become a nurse someday.

Rajiah is a hardworking girl and loves to help her younger brother do his homework.

The Context

Rajiah’s world.

Rajiah 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.
