The masks which were handed over to the Red Cross was the first of many and was received by a delegation from the Red Cross which was led by the program manager Abdoulie Fye.
“The masks that we received will go a long way in helping to contain corona virus. We have been in support of the initiative before they began production and we will continue to partner with them to make sure that every individual is not left out,” Fye added.
The materials and most of the equipment used for the production are self fund by the founders of the organization as a means of contributing to the prevention of Corona Virus.
