Covid-19 Producer Support Continues

Facemasks, Buckets and Radio Jingles
Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Unicorn Grocery in Manchester for a sizeable donation to this appeal, and a few other friends of JTS, we were able to offer another grant to our producers in The Kingdom of Eswatini and Malawi. Eswatini are very much using the these funds to disseminate information to educate about the virus. They have even made up radio jingles to advise people in the local area how to keep themselves and others safe during this time.
The past week the Woman Farmer Foundation (WFF), run by Sonia Paiva, the Managing Director of Eswatini, made a distribution of branded buckets & masks to some of the farmers. Sonia informed us that so far, this latest support has purchased the following materials with purchasing continuing over the next few weeks:
- 50 buckets specially made for the use of an elbow to open and close
- 60 branded face masks
- 50 - 1 litre containers of disinfectant liquid
- 50 bars of soap
"All these items will be used by the farmers as precautionary measures to fight the infection of covid-19. Your continuous contribution and support to Eswatini Kitchen & Woman Farmer Foundation is greatly appreciated." Sonia said with a grateful heart.
Please see the picture below for some more information on the preventative measures put in place at Eswatini.
