This project will aim to impact over 485 people, which includes the families of the murdered literacy workers, the trauma counsellors to be trained, and the people in their communities reached with the healing groups.  

So far, the widows have been relocated into a new village, away from the fear and insecurity of the Kassa area. Minor finishing works were done to their house in July 2022.  

Also in 2022, 12 children from both families returned to school in September with school fees and school supplies covered. However, since July 2022, terrorist attacks have intensified and spread into other villages, making it difficult to hold activities including the healing sessions planned. 

The goals of this project are to 1) meet the physical, psychological, educational and spiritual needs of the 15 children and their mothers over 3-5 years; and 2) to train additional facilitators to help families and the community heal from their trauma.  

In 2023, the project will continue to meet the needs of the two families; medical, food and education, as well as ongoing trauma healing support in the communities.
