The boundary dispute between Enkeresuna village and nearby communities has persisted for two years, recently escalating into severe clashes among residents. Although the government intervened in an attempt to mediate, the conflict remained unresolved, leading to the closure of local schools starting last September.  To ensure that children could continue receiving education and meals, we opened the Enkeresuna Church and utilized GCF funds to urgently construct two temporary classrooms. This allowed the children to continue their studies and receive lunch at the church. Currently, kindergarten and grades 1, 2, 3, and 6 attend classes and meals at the church. However, due to space limitations, students in grades 4, 5, 7, and 8 must travel long distances to other schools to continue their education.  Thanks to the support of the GCF, we have been able to provide hope and stability to children affected by the conflict. The donations have been instrumental in offering warm meals and creating a conducive environment for learning.
