Impact Stories
Grandma Seng Has Been A Rubbish Collector For Over 60 Years
Since they don’t own land for farming and have a large family, their homes are temporary huts made from materials they could find, just enough to provide shelter from the sun and rain. There are four huts in their living area, accommodating about 25 people.
Nongkran (Seng’s daughter)
Giant is the nickname of a 6 years old girl of 4th generation of rubbish scavenger families in Loei. Her mother (Nongkran) is 36 years old, born and bred in a rubbish mountain. Nongkran had her first son (Giant’s brother) at the age of 15. She is the daughter of 65 year old Seng, a grandmother of Giant.
