Tenaru has been the scene of violent activity between the two warring parties. Over 500 people have now made the premises of Christ the King Parish, Tetere their home. This parish is, of course, the Salesian parish now in the care of the Salesians for some six years. The people just have a roof above their heads and strive to manage with roots and fruits that they can find. The center is unable to cater to the basic needs of the people.
Water is scarce and so are medical supplies.
The business community has got together to finance a security force as rime has been on the increase and the police force is unable to contain it.
