Women living in the village of Maradisi in Marneuli municipality of Georgia have teamed up to help their neighbour who has contracted COVID-19 and has been unable to tend her potato plantation this year.
Obeying social distancing rules and other hygiene recommendations, the women have weeded the plot, in order not to leave the family, who currently is under intensive care at the hospital, without a source of income.
"This is all we can do to help. When the family will be back from the hospital they need to have something for their livelihood", said Naira Paksadze, a community worker of TASO foundation who is engaged in a community mobilisation project of UN Women.
