Mumbai-based entrepreneur, Naina Parekh, Founder of EUME, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to manufacture customized masks for Mumbai Police. Naina’s initiative to honour Mumbai Police has received support from various celebrities like Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Arjun Kapoor.
“Our frontline warriors, especially our police, are working day and night to protect us. This is a small initiative to ensure they remain well-equipped as they help us fight this pandemic on the battleground,” says Naina Parekh.
The campaign is set to raise Rs.1.20 crore to provide three masks to each of the 40,000 strong police force of Mumbai.
“Our Protect+ Pro 95 mask is a certified, 30-day reusable and washable one. The masks for Mumbai Police Force are customized as per the job requirements of the police. The masks will have a respiratory valve to ensure maximum breathability and it will be adjustable around the head with straps to ensure easy facial mobility,” adds Parekh.
At a minimal cost of Rs. 300 for a pack of three, the campaigners are requesting for a donation that will amount to Rs. 3.33 a day per person to ensure the safety of our police officers for at least the next 90 days.
“The campaign is receiving tremendous support and appreciation from Mumbaikars who are coming forward to support our Bravehearts, our COVID Warriors – our Mumbai Police. We are also reaching out to corporates and other organizations requesting their support for the campaign,” adds Naina Parekh.
