Dora Biney, a 37 year-old farmer from
Bodwireagya-Anikoko in Ghana, has been moved
off the land she farms - against her wishes -
to make way for gold mines. Dora and her
family have been resettled several miles away
in a smaller house made of ‘sandcrete' blocks
and cement with what she describes as
‘woefully inadequate facilities'.
|
Dora's changed circumstances
mean she can't even pay medical bills or her
children's school fees (pressure for economic
reform from governments in the developed world
means that people in Ghana are obliged to pay
for health and education). Worst of all, she's
had to take her children out of school.
