The teenager, identified as Gatluak Wacteng, says he was sent away by his uncle following an incident involving two missing plastic bags.
With nowhere else to go, Gatluak was left to find shelter wherever he could. He eventually turned to a tree, which has now become his home for almost two months.
Despite the difficult situation, the teenager has continued to struggle to survive. He spends most of his days moving around in search of casual jobs that can help him earn some money.
According to his account, he hopes to save enough money to find a safer and more comfortable place to live.
Living in a tree exposes him to several dangers, including bad weather, insects, hunger and the risk of falling. It also raises concerns about his safety, health and access to basic needs such as food, clean water and proper shelter.
The incident has also drawn attention to the challenges faced by vulnerable children and teenagers who lack family support and safe places to stay.
Many believe that Gatluak needs urgent assistance to help him get off the tree and return to a safe living environment.
His story is a reminder that some young people are facing difficult situations without the support they need.
For Gatluak, the hope remains to find a safe place to call home and rebuild his life away from the tree that has sheltered him for nearly two months.
