THE CHILDREN’S VILLAGE

Following the volcanic erruption in May 2021, we fundraised to build 4 stone houses inspired by the traditional round houses. We went into the displacement camps and chose 4 families who we would eventually give these houses to. It has now become a traditional compound where all the children go to after school. Whilst they are there they can play with their friends in a safe environment, receive help with their homework, additional tutoring and food.
