Nepal has many social security programs that provide allowances to the elderly, poor families, people with disabilities, children, single women, and some endangered indigenous groups.
For some indigenous groups with very small populations, this money is very important.
For example, people from the Bankariya community say the monthly allowance helps their families pay for school, medical care, and daily living expenses.
Some communities also use the money to start small businesses, join cooperative savings groups, and help preserve their culture.
However, giving only cash also has problems.
Some people may become more and more dependent on the allowance, and traditional skills and their original way of life may gradually decline.
In some places, there have also been cases of people spending the allowance on alcohol.
At present, many indigenous people still face difficulties when applying for allowances, such as living too far away, lacking identification documents, unclear information, or not knowing what help they are entitled to.
Therefore, many experts believe that allowances should be promoted together with education, healthcare, employment, and digital payment services.
Only then can these endangered indigenous groups truly improve their lives while also protecting their culture and future.
