In the Terai areas of Nepal near the Indian border communities suffer high rates of preventable disease and high rates of illiteracy. There is a general lack of awareness about health and hygiene and HIV/AIDS is prevalent. Girls are especially vulnerable due to early marriage and cross-border trafficking. Some groups are particularly marginalised such as those from lower caste and are less likely to attend school.
