Donations of Masks and Sanitizers to Low Income Families – Part 02

We reached out to more families living in remote areas during our campaign to help families in need. Free distribution of masks and hand sanitizers continued with these families. Time spent to educate them on the importance of masks and hand sanitizers and how to use them properly is well worth as they families are vulnerable and have not means to afford these items.  It is mandatory that everyone wears masks when they go out. Especially in public places. Families you see in these pictures  are  struggling and facing more hardships due to poverty. Everyday, these moms and dads from remote communities rush to towns to buy groceries for survival. They do not understand the importance of wearing masks. They can not afford hand sanitizers and masks from the small income they earn. Therefore, we donated masks and hand sanitizers to around 200 families living in remote areas in Anuradhpura, Polonnaruwa,Kegalle and Chilaw in Sri Lanka.  And team spent time to educate these families on the importance of using masks and hand sanitizers. Together, we can beat the virus. So, these families need little help from our side.
