KMC launched the ‘made in the Gambia’ 50,000 face masks initiative (made by KM tailors) as part of pillar 2 ‘Stop the spread’ in KMCs Covid 19 response.
5000 face masks will be distributed today as part of the first phase of this initiative, these masks will target the 18 markets in the KM.
We would like to thank the Ministry of Health for providing the scientific designs for the masks, Tiga for coordinating more than a dozen talented local KM tailors who produced the masks and our Covid19 task force for the implementation.
We are extremely happy that these masks are 100% made in The Gambia by our very own Gambian Tailors.
As the lock downs come to an end, stopping the spread via protective means will be an absolute necessity and I therefore call on all partners to help KMC reach it’s Target of 50,000 masks.
