Name: Bap*
Age: 6 years old
Child ID: C278

“It takes a village” is the perfect expression to use for Bap and her younger sister. Instead of being raised by their parents, the 2 girls were raised by kind neighbours and villagers in the village. Bap’s father appears only when he needs money and then disappears shortly after he’s managed to borrow money, and during his disappearance remains uncontactable. Bap’s mother, who is a farmer, constantly struggles to put food on the table and never has time to look after Bap and her younger sister. Having just given birth 9 months ago, Bap’s mother focuses all her energy on her newborn baby. The 2 girls live in their grandfather’s house, but her grandfather is partially blind and thus unable to provide full care to the girls.

The villagers in the village have reached out to Hope Village as they have heard the success stories of past children who have graduated from Hope Village. They have witnessed these Hope Village alumni go on to lead successful lives after graduating. Filled with concern that the girls will be eventually abandoned by their struggling mother, they have requested for the 2 girls to be enrolled in Hope Village in hopes that they will get 3 regular meals a day, proper care and a chance at going to school.

For the past 5 months Dav and his baby brother has been living there with her.

We were alerted to her situation by a Hope Village staff who has been watching her collect rubbish along the road to sell, all while carrying her infant and Dav following quietly beside her.

After some discussion, we decided to enroll Dav to help lessen her burden as well as help give Dav an opportunity to go to school so that in future he can find a good job and help his mother and brother.

Any money or rice they have is used to feed themselves as well as Sey and his 2 cousins. Worrying about his future, Sey’s grandparents reached out to Hope Village for help.
