Wa west, Ghana

Our community is located in the Upper West Region of Ghana. We are mainly peasant farmers. We cultivate yam, beans, maize, guinea corn, millet, etc. Our only High School was opened in 1995. We also have a Hippo Sanctuary where tourists worldwide come to see hippopotamuses in the Black Volta River. We mainly use xylophone and drums to entertain ourselves. Our staple food is tuo-zaafi, meals prepared from corn flour.
