SOUTIEN #COVID-19 CAMEROUN
<p>The exceptional nature of the current heath situation requires our mobilisation. Let us bring our support to <strong>the most fragile populations</strong> of Cameroon: caregivers, public transport drivers, orphanage workers, street children, prisoners…, let us offer them a mask, a gel, a water source and soap for hand hygiene or simply a daily meal during this confinement period. <br />
Let us all act to slow down the chain of contamination AND SAVE LIVES!</p>
<p><strong><em>To fight against Covid-19, we need your support!</em></strong></p>
<p>Faced with the emergency, our collective pre-financed the purchase of supplies for the manufacture of <strong>washable and reusable <em>protective masks</em></strong> from local companies specialising in fashion and clothing.</p>
<p>These masks have been tested and meet the standards of the Cameroon Standards and Quality Agency. The mask will be accompanied by <strong>hydro-alcoholic gels, protective visors, multiple water sources</strong> and <strong>essential products </strong>such as <strong>soap.</strong> Distribution will be carried out on the most sensitive places and to the most exposed populations (hospitals, care units, penitentiary centres, sectors with a high concentration of precarious populations...).</p>
