Hi, I'm Egshiglen
I'm a girl, 7 years old and live in Mongolia.
Tuv province’s center is Zuunmod soum, which is the most populated urban area within its province. Zuunmod soum has the largest number of vulnerable families, its population is dense and has high unemployment rate, which are the main factors for implementing the Family Strengthening Program. The members of families at risk are unemployed with no income other than the child support money from the government. The family live in the Zuunmod soum. The family has three younger children. One of them is disabled. The parents are not financially stable to support their children.
She has cerebral palsy.
Egshiglen lives with her parents and her older siblings. The family lives in the their own Ger dwelling. The parents cannot work because they take care of Egshiglen. She takes regular treatment at the hospital in Ulaanbaatar city. The family’s income is money from the Social Welfare Service. It is not sufficient to fully support both of her and her sibling’s necessary supply and daily meal. The family lives in a poor condition lacking of food.
