Grandma Chhae Khoeun is 65 years old. She lives with 5 children and 8 grandchildren in a small rented house (20 m²) and pays 60 USD per month. The house is very crowded, so some people sleep inside and some in front of the house.
They do not have enough food. Grandma collects scrap to sell and uses the money to buy rice. She earns about 12,000 riel per day, sometimes more, sometimes less. The children are often sick with flu and get medicine from the community hospital.
They need food, house rent, medicine, and clothes. The most important needs are money for health, rental house, food, and clothes, especially in the rain season, during floods. Daily life is hard, but Grandma never gives up hope and keeps struggling for her children and grandchildren.
