It was a challenging year. As of spring 20202, COVID-19 has the entire world in his grasp. This global pandemic has hit poor communities the hardest en their struggle is real. Many farming families we work with must deal with a strong drop in income because of the (partial) lockdown measures that were needed in many countries to stop the spread of COVID-19. However, this period also led to inspiring initiatives such as in Ecuador where Heifer farming families are supplying food baskets directly to consumers in the cities, providing the farmers with access to new markets.
