Augusto is a smart boy who lives with his grandparents, mother, uncle and siblings in a suburban area of the Mozambican capital city, Maputo. He attends school and his favorite subject is Portuguese. In future, he would like to be a teacher. He often helps his family with the chores around the house. He washes the dishes and sweeps the house. He enjoys playing soccer. This family lives in a precarious house, with two bedrooms and one sitting room and lacks of the basic facilities of sanitation. The water for their daily needs is canalized. The grandfather does business for income generation. He works hard every day but, the little he gains is insufficient to sustain the family. The familys annual income is of $180, which can hardly reach their needs. They only have one meal per day. Augusto and family sought assistance from the ChildFund based project to help improve on their standard of living. Through this project, Augusto will receive educational supplies for regular school attendance. Medical and nutritional assistance will be provided when necessary.
