But last year. a violent conflict forced the closure of Hussaini's school and his family to flee their home for safety.

Hussaini recalls the fateful day: "I was in class in my village. We heard people screaming, then gun shots. They shot at our teachers, killing one of them. They burned down the classrooms. I was scared. I felt weak and lost. Then we just ran," he said.
