A Meru MCA has initiated production of face masks for orphans, the elderly, people living with disability and other vulnerable groups. Abothoguchi Central MCA Ayub Bundi said the vulnerable members of society were finding it difficult to acquire masks, hence his decision to intervene to help the fight against Covid-19. He formed a WhatsApp group and within a short time raised Sh100,000 that was spent on production equipment. "We formed the WhatsApp group to make donations and help the most vulnerable going without masks. We bought some 20 machines and got 13 young people and some women to start production of standard masks."
