In recent years in the area that Heading North is based, hundreds of people have been killed in the crossfire between the government and a tribal militia. The instability has led at times to the closure of schools and the interruption of some of Heading North’s usual projects. 

Due to the ongoing conflict, 500 families in the area have lost the head of their household in recent years. In consultation with the community, the Heading North team are providing school supplies for their children and helping the families by hiring tractors to plough their fields. This has meant the families have been able to grow food to eat and generate an income by selling the surplus. 

“We are so grateful to Anglican Aid supporters for enabling us to show the love of Christ to vulnerable orphans and widows. Your support is giving security and hope to many people, especially during the hardest times in this country. God bless you. Thank you very much!”
