TRIBALS IN INDIAN RESERVES

ADIVASIS

Adivasis are the direct descendants of the communities that inhabited India before the arrival of the Aryas, the current Indians. Historically discriminated against by the Indian majority, over the centuries Adivasis have taken refuge in remote and impervious areas, where they have learned to live in close contact with nature, from which they derive all they need to survive. Basic services such as schools and healthcare do not exist.

MARGINALIZATION OF THE ADIVASIS

WHO WILL YOU SUPPORT?

The communities residing in tribal areas live in remote and impervious spaces, distant from cities, in conditions of poverty and neglect. It is therefore not surprising that the literacy rate there is extremely low, barely reaching 59%, over 15% lower than the national average. The distance from cities and linguistic barriers often result in tribal communities being excluded from social services and economic opportunities, and they have frequently faced threats or been forced to abandon their territories for the construction of roads and industrial activities.
