First factory in Afghanistan to make face masks

First factory in Afghanistan to make face masks

A factory in Afghanistan is making personal protective equipment (PPE) for the first time.

The plan is to make five million affordable masks that cost a fraction of the imported ones.

Not only will this provide affordable protective equipment to people, but it is also providing job opportunities to Afghans hit hard by the pandemic.
