Meet Sunshine
In Sunshine’s own words.
My name is Sunshine. I live in Ghana with my family and my birthday is June 4, 2019. My favorite animal is a sheep. In school, my favorite class is English. When I grow up, I want to be a nurse.
“Sunshine likes breadmaking and cooking simple food with her mother.”

The Context
Sunshine’s world.
Sunshine 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.
Sponsor Sunshine.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Sunshine with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds her.
