Hi, I'm Bao
I'm a boy, 10 years old and live in Vietnam.
Bao's family is listed as a near poor household by the local authorities. His parents are farmers. They grow rice and cashew plants. They harvest one crop a year. However, the rice and cashew yields of recent years were lower than previous years. The total income is approximately about 1130 USD per year. Besides, his mother suffers from joint pain so she has to go to the hospital for regular treatment. During the Covid 19 pandemic, his family’s economy was significantly affected. His parents had to sell rice with very low price.
His family's income is low and unstable which is not enough money to cover basic living costs and school fees for Bao. With such low income, Bao might be at risk of dropping-out of school.
At the admision date, Bao was in normal health condition.
