Gemima's brother, Aziz, and their mother. They look really happy (Rose insisted on putting her only good dress on for the photo) but it's a different story underneath. They struggle to survive by trading bananas. With no money, Rose has to buy the bananas on credit at twice the price she would pay if she had a little capital.
Gemima's village. It was split in two to make way for a new road. Their grandmother died crossing the road to see her friend when a lorry careered off the road into her. Already struggling to make ends meet, they then had to pay for her funeral which is a really expensive business in Ghana.
Gemima with her friend, Louis, who is also sponsored.
