Fair

These masks are made by Selyn who are a WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) accredited factory in Sri Lanka. The production process follows guaranteed Fair Trade standards and the factory has been cleared by the local authorities for compliance under Covid-19 preventative measures. They are being produced as part of a Fair Trade solidarity project designed to provide an income to producer groups who are currently deprived of regular work due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Buying one of these masks provides the artisans with a lifeline and wearing one protects others and helps reduce the spread of the virus, especially if worn in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
