Hi folks,

My sister+I are helping a group of tailors distribute homemade, double-layered, washable face masks made from 100% cotton (as recommended by the Min of Health+Family Welfare). These're available for ₹30/mask, and my family+I are personally using them (profile pic)

We have also distributed these in our neighbourhood to guards, sweepers, fruit/vegetable sellers, etc.

We've donated/sold about 300 masks and have orders for another 350. All the funds go to the tailors.

You can DM me for more info or email at [email protected]

Disclaimer:
1. Wash them before use (as per instructions in the first link).
2. Along with the masks, it is necessary to maintain social distancing (that is, don’t go out except for essential services, and maintain 6 feet distance with all people).

3. These masks are NOT a replacement for surgical masks (which must be thrown away after 3-4 hours of single use) or N95 masks, which, as recommended by the Ministry should be reserved for health care workers dealing with COVID-19, and those diagnosed with the disease. [contd]

These are meant to be used by general public for safety as recommended by Indian government, apart from American, German and Austrian governments.
