Meet Selina

In Selina’s own words.

My name is Selina, and I was born on May 2, 2018. I live in Vea, Ghana, where I go to school. I like to sing, to read, and to play with cats. When I grow up, I want to be a teacher.

“Selina loves reading books.”

The Context

Selina’s world.

Selina 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.
