When we met her family Ei Phyu had just recently taken all of her younger siblings and 6 month old niece into her care and was struggling to provide for them all. This brave young family was barely holding it together when we started providing nutrition packages for them.
They bring food and support to the family, instead of the children having to go out of the family to get the same thing.
Desperate mothers who have no support frequently abandon their children at the clinic, slipping away when no one is looking and leaving their baby behind.
The woman and her little extended family were alone, in a foreign country, critically poor, discovering a sickness that gets you rejected by the surrounding community, with a baby coming to a young and inexperienced mother and the danger of giving this new life the same sickness that the mother just discovered that she now has to deal with for the rest of her life.
Ma Phyo no longer receives nutrition support from The Charis Project. This is because she is now stronger physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially and ready to step forward to a better future for her children and family.
"I always pray for you. And I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I’m very happy because of your help. Every night I pray, I pray for you, for the people who have helped my family."
I can’t imagine giving up one of my children because I can’t afford to feed them
They are willing to live in something that we wouldn’t even classify as a building in order to get paid on time and not have to run from the police...
We are working with these families to find long-term solutions.
Less than a year ago Chawsu was deciding whether or not to send her small children away... we helped her start a small business instead
