A member of Global Compassion making masks.
As the worldwide pandemic continues, URI groups are rising to the challenge by mobilizing members to create face masks and distribute them among vulnerable populations. In the photo above, a member of Global Compassion (a URI member group in Cameroon) sits at her sewing machine with a pile of masks ready to be distributed for free to adults and children in need. Child and Youth Development Through Inter-Religious Init., another URI member group, runs similar programs in Sri Lanka.
