In 1969, the Anglican missionary organisations the Rotary Club of Worcester South and Voluntary Service Overseas performed aid activities in the village. One of the intentions was to aid children of the village with a goitre-associated condition which affected 1 in 4 of them.[4]

In 2011, a secondary school for the village built by the Anglican mission was opened. The school is named St Felix Anglican High School.[5]

The hospital serving the village was established by the Anglican missionaries.[6]
