The women and instructors of Nari Dana have been making good use of their time under lockdown by producing face masks.
CRS Director, Rig David, travelled to the homes of members the Nari Dana team to deliver batches of cotton material. They are making masks for members of their family and local community, as well as taking orders.
Larsen & Toubro, the Indian multinational, that has supported CRS activities including Nari Dana over recent years, placed an order for 500 masks. Meanwhile the Diocese of Kolkata ordered 200 and another customer ordered 300.
This is a great opportunity for Nari Dana women to maintain their livelihoods during this very difficult time.
