Villagization

Villagization is when people are moved from their homes in rural areas and brought to a central location called a village. This is done to make it easier for the government to provide services like healthcare, education, housing, and clean water because it is easier to provide these services in one central location rather than in scattered rural areas.

Think of it like when you go to school, all of the kids in your classroom are in one room, so it's easier for the teacher to teach and provide supplies to everyone. Villagization is like putting all the people from different classrooms together in one big classroom.

However, sometimes people do not want to move from their homes because they have lived there for a long time and might have family or friends there. It can also disrupt their way of living and culture.

So, the government and people need to work together to make sure that the move is done in a way that is fair and respectful to everyone involved. They will need to build new homes, ensure access to basic necessities, and make sure that people can still maintain their way of living and culture.

In summary, villagization is moving people from rural areas to one central location to make it easier for the government to provide services, but it must be done in a respectful and fair way for everyone involved.
