For tribal communities, the need for assistance with food, water and education is a necessity because they are very poor. That need becomes even more urgent in remote mountainous areas, where Christians are persecuted by family members/others. They are ethnic minorities and lived mainly with the support and help of the local people. But since they believe in God, all supports were stopped and they faced many difficulties in daily living as well as school fees for their children.

Children there face the problem of having to drop out of school if they do not have money for school fees and other necessities for learning. Even so, they still do not deny their faith in Jesus. All the children we have met there loved going to school and they said they dream of continuing to go to school. Their tuition is not so high as in the city and they also don't have extra classes like other children but for their current situation the annual school fees, books and school supplies are too much for many of these families.

There are fathers who have to leave the family to work far away to be able to send money back to support their wives and children. But their income is often still too low to keep the children in school.
