"children who do not necessarily have access to the internet"

As the coronavirus continues to rage globally, people are forced to adjust to hard times.  In Kenya, church pastors are taking to "balcony churches":

"The balcony church started when a Sunday school teacher at the cathedral delivered a service to children on their balconies to entertain them while they were stuck at home. The service was a success, and the teacher enlisted Machira’s help to spread this mtaani – 'in the neighbourhood' in Swahili – Sunday school. While All Saints Cathedral has been providing online services for young people, Machira says the mtaani helps him reach more of them.

'This Sunday school mtaani allows us to do ministry to children who do not necessarily go to church,' said Machira. 'And children who do not necessarily have access to the internet.'

Soon after its first Covid-19 case was announced in mid-March, Kenya closed down schools. 'You’ll find children being confined in their houses from the time they wake up till the time they go to bed,' said Machira, who has three children himself. 'It’s been a difficult time.'”

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, but local, bottom-to-top initiatives like this one provide some optimism.
