The One Million Masks Project
Across the world members of our organisation have been working with communities and health authorities to communicate lifesaving information about COVID-19. This has been achieved through donating protective gear and other supplies to clinics and hospitals that are stretched beyond capacity because of the pandemic. Members globally are also ramping up efforts to help communities navigate the next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rotary’s goodwill, community connections, strategic partnerships and innovation can all support the effort to protect communities from COVID-19.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE DONE!
OUR MISSION in this project is simple. Through generosity we will help our communities most in need here in New Zealand and in the Pacific. This will be through the donation of up to 1 million masks to these communities & the education of how masks can help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
COVID-19 and its various strains will be here for a while. Masks will help stop the spread of the disease.
THESE AREN'T JUST ANY MASKS. These are state-of-the art masks manufactured here in New Zealand using wool-based state of the art filter technology offering the highest performance and protection while ensuring easy breathing.
Developed to align with World Health Organisation guidelines these masks provide three essential masking elements to address Delta: Fit, filtration and breathability: achieving practical particle removal at N95 level whilst being comfortable to wear and easy to breathe through
A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR SOCIAL GOOD: Together with Lanaco - who's experience and filtration systems have been used in NASA space crafts and who's masks equipped the New Zealand Olympic teams - this charitable project will ensure our whanau and friends are protected from the Delta strain and any future strains that come here
