The Paroja or Pengo are a scheduled tribe who live in Odisha. As a scheduled tribe, they have low status in Hindu society. They speak the Pengo language.

Shifting cultivation is the main work that they do. They have monogamous marriages meaning they are between one man and one woman. They have many clans. Women help the men except in politics and religious rituals. They have a council to look after their needs. Their education level is low, so the gospel will need to be presented in oral forms.

The Paroja religion is a mixture of Hinduism and tribal religion.

They need to accept the blessings of Jesus Christ, the one who came to offer "life to the full."
