Gathering Groups

After spending few days with Saharia Tribes I can say that they are landless and their forests are being destroyed.
Although,schools are setup and children are being educated by the government but their source of earnings have deteriorated .Health facilities are negligible and they are unaware of deadly diseases like Malaria,Typhoid,Aids.Even most of them don't know their age and their rights.

Ngo's are taking care of them but still they are disconnected with the world.
