東華大學-擺脫貧窮弱勢孩童渴望多元學習
Reported by National Dong Hua University
Translated by Yu-Chih Lin
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.
