#ResilienceStories
What did the youth achieve despite adversity
during the pandemic?
Noé - La Dignidad, Guatemala
“2020 has been a year of adversity where I have gone through a lot of difficulties but despite that, I have found the way forward where I have had the vision to take on the challenges".”
Ana María - Chalatenango, El Salvador
“Last year’s biggest challenge was testing positive for Covid19 and keeping my family safe, especially my daughter. Yet during those challenging times, I felt the support of the youth network who were constantly checking on me and how the situation was evolving.”
César - Suchitoto, El Salvador
“The impact of the pandemic taught us that we are vulnerable but that we can also reinvent ourselves. The main challenge was the vulnerability we have in health systems, we know that they have improved but are not completely adapted to unexpected situations.”
Evelyn - La Dignidad, Guatemala
“During Covid one of the problems that I identified was unemployment. Many people haven’t been able to provide. Another thing is the insecurity in the community, many of us are affected by violence, either in our home or in the surroundings of our neighborhood.”
