Update news chut ethnic group
After three decades of change, the Chut people of Rao Tre are looking beyond direct assistance toward skills, jobs and livelihoods that can deliver lasting self-reliance.
Three decades ago, many Chut people could not speak Vietnamese and schooling was rare. Today, their children attend university and young workers are building new livelihoods far from home.
The Chut of Rao Tre have transformed their lives over three decades, but memories of forest births, infant deaths and marriage between relatives remain painfully vivid.
Border Guard soldiers once rode through forests to help young Chut people find partners. Today, a new generation is choosing love and marriage beyond Rao Tre on its own.
