Because we opened the donation program prior in getting the face masks done from our suppliers, we received a lot of questions on how they look like.

Today we received several finished samples from our suppliers. These are 2-ply washable cloth masks with elastic ear loops, and they should be comfortable for prolonged use. As there are a couple of suppliers producing these, they come in two different models, and we will distribute them equally.

Thanks to your kind donations, we have ordered 1,000 masks and our suppliers are working the best they can to get them delivered to us for distribution.

More updates will be posted once we have them.

UPDATE:
2020/05/09 – To date we have shipped 1,210 masks.

2020/04/15 – We have start ordering the first batch of 1,000 masks. The financial and progress report for this project is publicly accessible here.

We are now opening donations for us to provide non-medical face masks for everyone as an extension to our Face Shield donation program.

As we are prioritizing on shipping face shields to hospitals in the rural areas, and most of them are outside of Jakarta, there is a good chance that the community around those hospitals need face masks as well. Currently we are doing what we can to suppress expensive shipping costs by pooling shipments into small local distribution posts (maintained by medical professionals within that shipment destination), but they are still not cheap. Logistics to places outside Java have always been an issue. The further out, the more expensive it gets. We’d like to maximize those shipments to include things that people need as well.

Every IDR 6.000 will cover the production and handling cost of one face mask. We are working with our suppliers to get the production going. We are attaching this to the Face Shield donation program to take advantage of the shipping management that we have already been doing.

Just like the face shields, this will also be a transparent operation, and all reports will also be available publicly. Your donations will be responsibly managed only for this purpose. We will also do our best to vet every shipment to make sure that these masks go to the people who actually need them. We want to make sure that no one is hoarding these masks at the expense of anyone.

Every donation counts, and we thank each and everyone of you. Stay safe, stay healthy.

Our office will be closed on Friday, April 10, 2020 for Good Friday and the Easter holiday. We are currently still prioritizing our work-from-home protocols amidst the COVID-19 situation.

Happy easter, may your basket be full of joy and happiness. Please stay safe, and stay healthy.

UPDATE:
2020/05/09 – To date we have shipped 1,434 shields to 81 different hospitals.

2020/05/03 – To date we have shipped 1,098 shields to 60 different hospitals.

2020/04/11 – To date we have shipped 486 masks to 27 different hospitals. We are still targeting to produce at least 1,800 in total. We are also constantly working to streamline and optimize the manufacturing process of each shield. This means that hopefully we can get cheaper production costs, and ship even more shields out with your same donations in the coming weeks.

2020/04/08 – We have reached our initial goal, and we’re currently closing the donation window to focus on getting the shields produced. We thank you for your kind donations. The financial and progress report for this project is publicly accessible here.

We are now opening donations so that we can provide even more medical face shields to those in need.

Currently we are still ramping up our production of at least 300 face shields that we funded ourselves. We are able to produce about 120 shields per day, with each shield taking up just about 2 minutes of laser-cutting. However, we are also still applying the highest safety margin for everyone working in the office, and we can only set a certain timeframe while some of us are working from home. We are constantly working to improve our production process so that we can get these visors out as fast as we can.

Every IDR 25.000 will cover the production, handling, and a part of the shipping cost of one face shield. We have received many requests from hospitals (especially outside Jakarta) who are in dire need of these visors, and we will do the best we can to fulfil them. We are going to be cross-subsidizing the shipping charges to make sure we can reach the furthest places in Indonesia, and absorb the shipping deficit if we need to.

We are also conducting a transparent operation, and all reports will be publicly accessible here. Your donations will be responsibly managed only for this purpose. We will also do our best to vet every donation request to make sure that these shields go to the people who actually need them. We want to make sure that no one is hoarding these masks at the expense of anyone.
