In our community, there are several challenges hindering digital business growth, such as network and electricity problems. Additionally, the lack of education due to the scarcity of roads in the village causes frustration among people. Communication gaps also lead to conflicts due to superstitions prevailing in the community.
When we first arrived in the community after marriage, we observed a significant lack of educated women in the village. In response, we initiated a night school to encourage more women to attend and learn. Many women participated and gained valuable knowledge. Furthermore, we formed a group for young children to provide them with free education and taught them basic computer skills. We also collected funds and organized trips to religious places to enhance their overall exposure.
In addressing the issue of road infrastructure, our community united and submitted an application to the village head for the construction of roads. Despite facing difficulties due to the lack of roads, our collective effort led to the successful construction of roads, alleviating the challenges faced by the people.
