Objective
Construct and improve an all-weather access road leading to the Rajaf Church and modernise the historic church facilities.
The story
Rajaf Payam is a historic spiritual anchor and home community. The initiative seeks to create safe, year-round access to the Rajaf Church, modernise the church facilities, and strengthen local mobility and community opportunity.
The Rajaf access road is a vital link for families, students, traders and worshippers. Today the road is unpaved and becomes impassable during the rainy season, limiting access to essential services and economic opportunities.
Alongside this, the community church is in urgent need of modernisation to create a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for worship, learning and fellowship.
