Matcha's father gambled him away in a card game. The man that won Matcha sold him to a rock quarry. In the rock quarry, Matcha was forced to work in the most inhumane conditions for 12 hours a day. He was beaten when he made mistakes or worked too slow. Older boys bullied him and stole the tiny amounts of food he was given. Matcha was eventually rescued when some of our partners heard about the rock quarry where he was enslaved.
Today, Matcha is 11 years old, and he lives at The CFC Children's Home. He wants to become a police officer and he wants to help children to never be slaves.
