Chu Anh Tu lives in one of the poorest provinces in Northern Vietnam where communities are spread through the remote mountainous areas. Tu, his grandparents, great-grandmother, parents and uncle shelter in a small house. His parents are both farmers who earn their living mainly by growing rice, corn and potatoes. Despite their great effort working in the field, hunger remains a threat to their lives. The family is often in lack of food for several months per year. Drinking, washing and cooking water is collected from a nearby well which is unhealthy from pollution while appropriate healthcare is hardly accessible in the community. Though life is hard for Tu, he appears to be a talkative child. As Tu is still too young for school, he stays at home where his grandmother takes care of him. With your sponsorship, children like Tu will receive support in accessing education, health, clean water and nutritional care.
