Nadi based Al-Hamd Smart Living has donated 500 surgical masks to the Nawaka COVID Response Unit and are in the process of preparing 100 food packs for the affected people in the lockdown area.
Director Ashfaaq Khan says the packs are worth $30 each and will include basic items.
Khan says they will not be going out themselves as it is risky but will engage Nadi Police to distribute the packs.
He adds the face masks donated would help combat the virus and will protect the frontliners facing the deadly virus which has plagued the entire world.
Khan says the surgical masks were air-freighted into the country and he does not think it’s a time to make a profit.
He further says they regard themselves as members of the local community, and they firmly believe unity will help us win the battle against the pandemic.
