They\u2019ve also helped developing community projects to support vulnerable communities, including the installation of water pumps, solar-powered lighting, and the development of community gardens to tend their crops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy work is essentially understanding how this conflict affects different groups, women, men, boys and girls.
