ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Remote and isolated community

Okay kiddo, imagine you live in a big city where there are lots of people and places to go. But imagine instead living in a really small place where not many people or things are around. This is called a remote and isolated community!

When we say "remote," we mean that the community is far away from other places where lots of people live. So it might be really hard to get there because you have to travel a really long way. This can make it tough for people in the remote community to get things they need like food, medicine, or clothes because it's hard to bring those things all the way out there.

When we say "isolated," we mean that the community is cut off from the rest of the world in some way. This could be because there are no roads that go there or because the community is not connected to the internet or phone lines. Being isolated like this means that people in the community might not know what's going on in the rest of the world or be able to communicate with people outside their community.

Living in a remote and isolated community can be challenging, but it can also be really special! People in these communities often rely on each other to get things done and they might have unique traditions and ways of life that are different from anywhere else.
