Ghana

Mike Wooldridge presents a series asking whether the global target of halving world poverty by 2015 can be achieved and what living on a dollar a day really means.

Ghana is one of the few African countries on track to meet the target of getting more girls into school, but the challenges are still enormous. Mike meets Dzifa Adjanu, a young Ghanaian woman who has achieved her ambition to become an accountant, and her mother Margaret, who made huge sacrifices to get her through.
