As with everywhere else in today’s new world, the enormous upheaval brought about by the Covid-19 crisis is being acutely felt in Alex, particularly with food shortages, school closures and loss of jobs. While times are tough and uncertain, Gumboots and its partners are providing leadership to a community doing its best under very difficult circumstances.
As a result of the pandemic, the normal activities of the projects that Gumboots supports have now largely been curtailed. This, however, has not prevented our resourceful and energetic project leaders from redirecting their efforts to helping alleviate some of the hardship. Together we’ve been hard at work communicating, adapting and learning in these challenging times.
