Zanglais has no public schools or a community clinic. There is a substantial amount of unschooled children and the majority of the population are in need of some sort of medical attention. Many untreated infections have led to complications and even death. The children in the town seem desolate and hopeless. This can all be prevented if a public school and a community health center is established in the community, however funds are scarce and the locals cannot afford such clinic.
