The national lockdown and local community quarantine have posed a great challenge to Goducate in delivering its help, training, and enhancements to needy people in different communities. Despite the difficulties, Goducate continued in providing basic goods, food, and water to beneficiaries through the help of its partners and donors. Dedicated Goducate Community Development Workers distributed these goods to target beneficiaries.In order to continue offering health enhancements, literacy training, and leadership training, Goducate developed new online platforms especially designed for children, adults and leaders respectively. As these platforms are being presently offered, a lot of challenges are now being experienced by Goducate, its local partners, and its beneficiaries. Among these challenges are: internet connectivity among recipient beneficiaries; proper gadgets and relevant technological skills of local partners; and video editing skills and online skills of Goducate staff and volunteers. Goducate is now taking some necessary measures and enhancements to address the aforementioned challenges.
