Judith, one of our Give Amore team members, is on the front lines in Kenya as she supports our children with health assessments, home visits and more! These handmade masks by our Made with Amore teachers will help protect our team and our community at large.
Give Amore has converted its sewing class into a ‘mini factory’ producing masks to be distributed to our community. This is a tremendous contribution towards the fight against Covid-19 that is taking a destructive toll world over.
Our first batch targets the production of about three hundred masks or even more for the community around us and even beyond. The masks are made from locally available fabric and some are toned up with the touch of African prints. Because there is a universal shortage of essential PPEs and given the deprived state of the locals, these reusable masks come in handy to help protect them from the virus.
Some of the masks are already distributed alongside information of their paramountcy in protecting others from the deadly virus. Further, our well informed team taught them of personal hygiene and behavioral/cultural adjustments that are essential in stopping this enemy.
Contact such as handshakes, hugs, etc. are a huge thing in Africa and has existed for centuries therefore placing it on the firing range of the virus. We pray for change hence a better outcome!
