Tuvalu - Tuvalu — History and Culture

A few international organizations, such as the Save the Children Federation and overseas volunteer agencies, have played a notable role in development.

Dances are usually performed in falekaupule, which are traditional community halls.

While some syncretic pre-Christian beliefs in magic and sorcery remain, the Christian deity is universally acknowledged, with the Tuvalu Christian Church giving equal prominence to Jesus.

Few Tuvaluans have obtained tertiary qualifications, and those that have are guaranteed employment in the national bureaucracy.
