BIG

Ni Komang Ayu (female / 4½) never knew her father as she was born out of wedlock. Her mother remarried and moved to Buleleng and has never returned. She is cared for by her grandparents.

Both of her grandparents work as farmers on land which depends only on rainfall and which therefore can only planted in the rainy season (one crop per year). During the dry season they cannot plant crops on their land. At best they tend a cow and some pigs. Their income is irregular. They get money from their farm produce after harvest or when the cow and pigs are sold.

The state of their dwelling: The floor is compacted limestone and cement, the walls are made of blocks, and the roof is of asbestos cement sheeting. There is a bedroom with no mattress and a kitchen. There is electricity and running water.

You could support Ni Komang Ayu and her family by providing a mattress, by providing basic food needs or by donating money for them to buy their daily necessities. You could also assist her grandparents to buy a cow and some pigs.

Please find below some additional information.
