Lockdown Masakhane

Like the rest of the world, South Africa has been taking measures to deal with COVID-19. Since March 26th, the entire country is on lockdown.

We are documenting how the people in the township of Masakhane deal with the situation and provide digital support for questions on health and child care.

Our blog now features weekly updates on the local situation, with images from the township.
