The Covid-19 epidemic has left poor people even worse off than they were. In a number of regions, female heads of households and women\'s schools have become the vanguard to help women make ends meet.

As household income is almost nonexistent, women and their communities in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) have been working together to meet their basic needs.
