Even in this new year, the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging and negatively impacting many people's lives. One of its devastating effects has been isolation which continues to increase all manner of disparities. We have not been able to meet physically for our programs which has a posed a huge challenge for the communities we serve.
The Malkia ladies (young women working in prostitution) have not had their in-person economic empowerment training during this pandemic. Yet we have realized that though we are apart, we can still be connected. We have strengthened our communication and follow up systems, making frequent phone calls, socially distanced home visits where necessary and supplying these women with food baskets from time to time. This has provided a sense of community for them and helped keep hope alive that better days are yet to come.
We are grateful that we can still provide a safe and supportive presence for this community of young women in the midst of such difficult times. We appreciate every donation from our community of donors as their giving has helped keep hope alive for our community.
