Meet Vanisa
In Vanisa’s own words.
Hello, my name is Vanisa. My birthday is September 4, 2018. I live in the village of Vea, Ghana, where I attend school.
“Vanisa is the only girl in a family of five. She loves music and is a good dancer.”
The Context
Vanisa’s world.
Vanisa 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.
Vanisa has a sponsor.
Someone already walks with Vanisa. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
