The corona crisis is not yet over, we are still all affected by various restrictions. While here in Europe the numbers remain at a low level at the moment, cases are still rising sharply in most South American countries. However, the greatest impact on living conditions is partly due to the measures that have been taken to contain them.
Due to the pandemic, food for the most needy families in Rancho los Pinos in Quito has been distributed weekly since April. Thus, 200 families received basic food such as rice, pasta, tuna, beans, etc. on a regular basis for four months. The 12 kilogram food baskets were made with ten different products, some of which were laboriously filled into 500 gram bags. In other words, 19’000 kg of food were distributed to these families.
Due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19, all schools were closed until further notice and digital platforms were created for the children. However, the parents we look after in the neighbourhood cannot guarantee adequate supervision when their children’s homework is done.
