Grandmother struggles to support large family
An 80-year-old grandmother in Thai Nguyen Province is raising four mentally-ill children and three grandchildren alone.
Nguyen Thi Nhu, 80, is the sole pillar of the family with four children affected by Agent Orange and three fatherless grandchildren. Nhu's husband died 20 years ago so she often goes out to work in the field and catches crabs and snails to make meals.
Their daughters are mentally-stunted and often destroy the furniture when they have a fit. From 2011, after they were diagnosed as being affected by Agent Orange, for which the family are given a small allowance. Nhu's youngest daughter was raped and gave birth to three children.
Nhu said she was worried about her grandchildren's future. "We don't know who their father is and their daughter knows nothing. They can only depend on me but I don't live forever," she said.
