Women help with financial and religious matters. They work mostly in agriculture and some of them make shoes. They are mostly landless. Their children are becoming more educated, but the literacy level is low. They are not vegetarians and they eat beef and pork.


What Are Their Beliefs?

What Are Their Needs?

The Bindla people need the opportunity to receive the abundant blessings that only Jesus Christ offers.


Prayer Points
