Meet Thompson
In Thompson’s own words.
My name is Thompson, and I live in Vea, Ghana, with my family. My birthday is October 17. In school, my favorite class is Mathematics. My favorite animal is a cow. I love moulding with clay.

The Context
Thompson’s world.
Thompson lives in Vea, a farming village in Ghana’s Upper East Region — one of the poorest areas in West Africa. He 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 Thompson.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Thompson with access to education, nutritious food, clean water, and medical support — and invests in the entire Vea community that surrounds him.
