Flattening the curve, starting with our vulnerable communities
OUR MISSION
To address issues around homelessness and support vulnerable communities. Now pivoting away from our previous work: creating cost efficient reusable face masks for these communities.
ENTERPRISE DESCRIPTION
During the COVID-19 crisis, the homeless are faced with elevated problems, such as not being able to access basic necessities due to panic buying and being neglected by the lockdown restrictions, whilst also being at high risk of exposure.
Together with our friends at Enactus City University of Seattle, we aim to take on this challenge to combat this crisis in our communities. Whilst not as effective as medical-grade masks, cotton materials provides comfort, adequate protection and are washable and reusable. These homemade masks provide alternative access to protection which does not strain the medical supply, so we can better support the nurses and doctors fighting at the frontlines.
Our project is currently looking at pivoting to address wider issues around homelessness.
