From
January to June, our project expanded significantly by partnering with six
schools, involving 90 children in environmental and educational activities that
fostered social-emotional development. Tree planting at Lokitaung and Al-nuur
schools, improved academic performance, and increased parental involvement have
marked our success. Collaborations with LOKADO and FAULU enhanced our
environmental and social initiatives, while SEL training reduced conflicts and
promoted peacebuilding. Community-based activities, such as after-school
remedial classes and parenting income-generating projects through VSLAs,
further supported 540 children and their families. Despite challenges like
adverse weather and community skirmishes, we adapted to ensure safety and
continued engagement. Achievements include improved behavior, increased school
visits, and academic progress. For sustainability, we are empowering parenting
groups with business development training and startup capital to ensure
long-term impact and financial independence. Our efforts have fostered a strong
foundation of collaboration among parents, teachers, and community leaders.
