StayMasked Distribution

Community mask distribution program ensuring everyone has access to protective equipment

About StayMasked Distribution

The StayMasked Distribution program ensures equitable access to high-quality masks for all community members. This initiative focuses on reaching vulnerable populations and providing education on proper mask usage alongside distribution efforts. This comprehensive approach to protecting ourselves includes education on hand hygiene, safe distancing, and staying vigilant about community health.

Distribution Strategy

  • Community-based distribution points
  • Mobile distribution units for remote areas
  • Partnerships with local organizations
  • Priority access for vulnerable populations
  • Multilingual educational materials
  • Proper hand hygiene protocols during distribution
  • Environmental cleaning of distribution sites

Types of Masks Distributed

We provide various types of masks to meet different needs and preferences, including both disposable and reusable options:

  • Surgical masks for general protection
  • N95 respirators for high-risk situations
  • Cloth masks for everyday use
  • Child-sized masks for young people
  • Specialized masks for specific needs

All mask types work best when combined with proper hand hygiene, hand sanitiser use, and safe distancing practices.

Education and Training

Distribution includes education on proper mask usage, similar to how we teach proper hand hygiene. Community members learn:

  1. How to properly wear and remove masks
  2. When masks should be used
  3. How to care for reusable masks
  4. Integration with other safety measures like safe distancing
  5. Environmental considerations and staying green
  6. Recognizing illness symptoms and when to seek care
  7. Using hand sanitiser when soap and water aren't available
  8. Maintaining mental wellbeing during mask-wearing periods

Community Impact

The StayMasked Distribution program has helped thousands of community members access protective equipment. By combining mask distribution with education on protecting ourselves and others, environmental cleaning, health monitoring, and staying vigilant about changing health conditions, this creates stronger, more resilient communities prepared to face health challenges together while maintaining mental wellbeing and sustainable practices.
