 In 2020, life became harder than before. New risk and challenges arrived with the COVID-19 pandemic. It felt like a different world. My name is Samira, and in my village, my mother is the leader of a Dimitra Club, a group where women and men villages gather to solve the community problems, including child marriage. Everyone participates, even the village chief. Now, thanks to the discussions within the Dimitra Club, parents keep girls like me in school instead of marrying them off. When COVID-19 arrived, the Dimitra Clubs discussed how we need to protect ourselves. My mother spoke on radio to share information about the virus. My father and I were so proud. Then, she went around the village, door-to-door, to raise awareness about the protection measures against COVID-19 and answer questions. The Dimitra Clubs took several actions, such as making simple basins for hand washing and sewing masks to sell at affordable prices. My mask was blue. These were very difficult times, but we were not afraid. Our village chief congratulated the Dimitra Clubs for helping the community during the crisis. Together, we are more resilient, and our story is just one of many. My name is Nisha. In my village, we keep cows and goats for daddy. Before COVID-19, my mother supplemented my father's and brother's wages with milk sales between the country went into lockdown. Everyone had to stay at home. My brother and father couldn't work, and my mother's milk sales disappeared overnight. Luckily, my mother had learned farming methods from the local farmer field school, which has a group for women. She got canola seeds and sowed them in early winter before the pandemic reached us. During lockdown, the land flowered. My mother was able to replace our family's lost income. Even when she couldn't meet face-to-face with the group, they still met online using video calls, and the farmer field school taught us how to protect ourselves from the virus. It feels like a different world. So many things have changed, but through the power of community, we've been able to support each other and adapt to new challenges.
