CAMPAIGN PERIOD: 25 SEP – 1 OCT 2021
Adam, Kristina, and their children aged 9, 8 and 2 live in an Orang Asli settlement in Johor. Adam is a fisherman and is illiterate. The family depends on their boat for their livelihood but just before the MCO, the boat’s 10-year-old engine became faulty. Recently, the boat too had been badly damaged, and Adam is unable to pay for the repairs.
During this time, Adam has been catching crabs to make a living, but the movement restrictions have not been easy for him to find customers. Without the boat to generate income, the family’s future seems bleak.
The cost to repair the boat and replace the engine is between RM10,000 and RM15,000 and this is beyond the reach of the family. They are also finding it hard to provide adequately for the family.
Adam and Kristina received a total of RM12,283 in contributions from this week-long campaign.
Update: 6 October 2021
