Vulnerable population

The less populous in the Council Area are the Mborroros who find themselves scattered within
the council area, about 3698 (5 % of the total population of the municipality) of them.

Women and youths constitute the majority categories. However, the number of their children attending
school is increasing and their relations with neighbouring indigenes seem cordial though they
are represented in none of the institutions (Council or PTA). Women are generally marginalized
in the community and take lesser initiative toward development. Other vulnerable and
marginalized groups include:

• 35 registered handicapped persons (children and elderly) in an association. About 60
  others are living in the villages and can only be identified by villagers as revealed in the
  village forms.
• 3010 old people
• Many girls drop out of school as early mothers. This second category can be
  estimated to more than 200 as testified in the form for psycho-socials.
