Chingjaroi Manipur
Chingjaroi is a group of three villages (Population ~5000) in the remote north-eastern corner of Manipur and over 80 Km from the District HQ. The village is home to people of Tangkhul Naga tribe. Majority of the inhabitants are Christians. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the inhabitants.
Amongst the chaos and violence in Manipur Sunbird trust and Learn for life Foundation have worked hard and changed the lives of people of Chingjaroi. Focused on opening doors of opportunities for underprivileged people, it is achieved through education.
Meitei-Kuki Conflict: The dominant Meitei ethnic group and the minority Kuki community have violently clashed. The conflict has resulted in more than 100 deaths and the displacement of tens of thousands of people. Chingjoroi village has been caught in the crossfire and has witnessed some of the region’s worst ethnic violence in living memory Security forces are on high alert, guarding areas affected by violence. Houses lie empty, their inhabitants having fled.
Today Chingjaroi is in need of better and more staff for schooling. Children are unable to learn properly due to bad infrastructure and not having teaching staff in schools.

Asnei Children’s Hostel
Inauguration
Asnei Children’s Hostel, our newest Sunbird Trust - Learn for Life Hostel at Chingjaroi Village, Manipur was inaugurated on 12th March 2025.
Constructed through your generous contributions, this hostel will provide a safe space for 60 underprivileged tribal students from the remote villages near the Myanmar border.
In the remote villages surrounding Chingjaroi, located near the Myanmar border, access to quality education remains a significant challenge for many children. These regions are marked by extreme remoteness, limited infrastructure, and widespread poverty, making it incredibly difficult for children to attend school regularly.
For many families in these remote areas, schools are often situated several kilometers away, requiring children to undertake long, exhausting, and sometimes unsafe journeys through rugged terrain and dense forests. This daily struggle discourages regular attendance, resulting in high dropout rates and limited educational opportunities.
Establishing a hostel facility attached to the school is a transformative solution. By providing children with a safe and comfortable place to stay close to their educational institution, these hostels eliminate the need for lengthy and challenging commutes. This allows students to focus entirely on their studies, participate in extracurricular activities, and engage more deeply with their peers and teachers.
Given the humanitarian, non-religious, and non-sectarian nature of the Sunbird Trust - Learn for Life Foundation initiative, we continue to receive immense support from both the government and the Army, who recognize the power of education in reducing conflict and militancy.
