Field Stories
After decades of hard work, Surji Paharin and her husband Rupa didn't know what the next year of farming might look like. Surji was growing worried. Would she be able to provide her youngest daughter who still lived at home? Would the family have enough money to get by if their harvest failed?
For years Besagi and Bamda struggled to provide for their family. They are a part of the Malto people, an ethnic minority in India that often lacks access to education and financial resources. One day, everything began to change!
As COVID-19 spread across the Democratic Republic of Congo, Katunga’s means to feed her family were threatened.
Without access to the city markets where she could sell her crop, 60-year-old Katunga had no way to generate income to feed her husband and four children. As the disease threatened her future, Katunga had no idea that her life was about to permanently change.
