When the pandemic began, Kawangware Tailoring School was forced to close just like all other schools and businesses.  Even as time passed and some restrictions were lifted, the school was left struggling.  At the end of May it was decided that it was safe to reopen the school with the necessary precautions in place. To date, however, only 8 students have returned. Monica’s own tailoring shop is struggling as well. Without income from either the tailoring shop or the tailoring school, the situation has become quite troublesome. They are hopeful that more students will return to school in the days ahead, though realistically returning students will not be in a position to pay the fees required and hence, the financial difficulties of the school itself will remain.
