Mask Donation

Environments all over the world are too often littered with trash, and now, with COVID restrictions and requirements, single or reduced use items such as disposable/surgical masks and gloves are being found discarded on land, and in our oceans.

Saving the Blue President Annie organized for hundreds of youth masks to be hand printed and shipped to Andros. Once in Andros, team member Khrys collected the masks and prepared to visit local schools. He’s mission was simple, to provide educational talks on green living and sustainability, whilst gifting the students a reusable face covering.

Over 200 masks were given to young Bahamian children. Face coverings aren’t always readily available in The Bahamas, and those that are, often display inflated prices given the islands remoteness. We are thankful to all who donate to us, making these gifts possible. This simple, yet effective project not only gave the children an ecofriendly alternative to single use masks, it informed them of sustainable alternatives, and encouraged them to start a conversation with the adults in their lives, encouraging them to consider the environment in their product choices.
