Hi, I'm Thanh
I'm a boy, 14 years old and live in Vietnam.
Thanh's family is listed as a poor household by the local authority. His parents don’t have any farmland. The income of the family is low and unstable. This may lead the child to risk of dropping-out of school.
Thanh suffers from mild malnutrition.
There are five people in his family. He is the youngest child of two. He lives with his parents, grandfather and his brother. His father is unable to work for over ten years because he has severe osteoarthritis. His mother is a daily wage worker. She can earn 5 USD/day. His grandfather is old and often gets ill. His mother is the breadwinner so she is overwhelmed with financial burden to fulfill the basic needs of her family and school fees of children. They don't receive any support from relatives.
