Children in disadvantage families struggle for their life.
The girl’s father is a taxi driver; her mother left them when she was a child. Money is always an issue. They wash clothes by river, borrow money for education and bills. Sometimes, they even steal vegetables from their neighborhood. There is no money for them to go for further education. By the help of non-profit organisations, she can pursue her studies.
According to statistics, at the age of fifteen, most indigenous children need to drop out of school and help their families. In order to improve their life conditions, indigenous children have to obtain education, family care, medical care, and employment opportunities.
