In India, a country of 1.37 billion people, the spread of Covid-19 could be truly devastating. People are being advised to wear face-masks as a means of reducing the risk of infection, but they simply don't have access to them and can hardly afford to buy them anyway. We are supporting these vulnerable people with a mask-making initiative in the villages where we normally distribute chickens for our Poultry Development Services programme. Members of our field team who live and work within these communities, are re-training our beneficiaries (our women poultry farmers) to make cotton face-marks to WHO recommendations and will then distribute them to thousands of local families in need. These women have lost their livelihoods from poultry farming due to the Covid-19 lockdown but sewing face-masks is giving them a new source of income and hope. Please help us to reach our target of 25,000 masks with a donation. Just £5 could make 25 masks. Thank you
