They often marry very young, sometimes as teens. Many marry while still children, leading to early pregnancies and health issues. Most children are undernourished and lack proper schooling. This is because the community holds tightly to old traditions and beliefs. There are no good facilities or programs to teach kids morals, discipline, or ethics.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Today, about 30 families live in the foothills of Mohamadwadi. The Banjaras ministry is part of the Arise and Shine Foundation. Mr Vinod Sharma, Mr Sebastian, and Bro Reuel have joined with this organization to help.<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; filter_brightness=&#8221;110%&#8221; filter_contrast=&#8221;115%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/inmindia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;10px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#EDFFBD&#8221; border_style_all=&#8221;ridge&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_enable_mask_style=&#8221;on&#8221; background_mask_style=&#8221;corner-blob&#8221; background_mask_color=&#8221;#FEFFBD&#8221; background_mask_transform=&#8221;invert&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||25px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;15px&#8221; border_style_all=&#8221;groove&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFF347&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Audiowide||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#e00b00&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; text_text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset4&#8243; text_text_shadow_color=&#8221;#FC9569&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>What We Expect<br \/>How do we make a difference?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We lead people to Christ and share the Gospel.
