Hi, I'm Suvd
I'm a girl, 13 years old and live in Mongolia.
Tarialan Soum of Khuvsgul province is located 600 km away from Ulaanbaatar city and 200 km away from the center of Khuvsgul aimag. Even though Tarialan is the largest soum that has advance development of agriculture, there are number of social issues in relation with its large number of population. Most households don’t have sustainable income source and majority of them have seasonal work based on environment and livestock farming. Without a job she is unable to support her children she approached the Committee Supporting Livelihood of the soum for help.
Suvd was healthy during admission into the program.
The family's living condition is below the poverty level. This family has 3 members. The mother temporarily found a job as a hairdresser at small hair salon, her salary is very low and barely meets the demands. The father passed away 2 years ago. The mother faces many challenges, not only to feed her children but also their education, and to keep home warm during winter. Winter is long and harsh, with temperatures here typically ranging from -20°C to – 45°C degrees in the Khuvsgul province.
