We set up collection baskets at motorcycle parking areas in Ho Chi Minh City. The donated facemasks were then washed with LG washing machines with allergy-care function.The clean face-masks were next given to our contracted seamstresses to turn into quilts.And finally, presented as gifts of warmth to orphanages in the city.

75% of people we approached donated on the spot. 68% of people donated more than once. The latter also included facemasks from their family members. We exceeded our weekly quota by an average of 40%.

Labor cost for one quilt was USD $12. So we spent just a small sum to make a big difference.We gave our first round of quilts to orphanages in Ho Chi Minh City. This is a year-long program so the more face-masks we collect, the more quilts will be donated. We save the environment, provide employment and provide to those in need.
