  Sustainability and Covid 19
  
• Covid had slowed down community vigil and the GKG processes, causing some regression in violence on women and child marriage. Several free schools had to shut down, thus, showing a decrease in the number of free community schools.
• Youth volunteerism has been a powerful force in sustaining the village actions, the strength behind the culture of volunteerism and in finding creative indigenous financial solutions at the grassroots. This is Brotee’s target for the next five years.
• The challenge is to keep alive compassionate community vigil. If youth volunteerism and action remains active, community vigil and community governance will be established.
