A group of children were getting
water from a well in Ghana on June 18, 2018. The well was dug in 2016. It was part of a Chinese government aid initiative to dig 1000 wells in Ghana as part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The classrooms are shabby, but all the students are eager to learn.
Most people live in remote villages in jungles.
Their houses are small huts made of grass or bushes where the whole family were crowded.
