Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) aims to produce over 110,000 handwoven face masks to help limit the spread of Covid-19 in the region under its Women Eco Weavers programme in collaboration with Colorsilk.
Maybank said some 250 women weavers in Cambodia under this programme would produce hand woven face masks made of pure cotton and silk in support of easing the pressure on the demand for surgical masks.
It said the face masks are primarily reserved for medical professionals and health care workers as well as to counter the increase in price of face masks within the region.
