On April 23rd, 2020, we embarked upon the Make a Mask initiative. Our goal was to organize as Lajna members and work together collectively to mass produce masks as a team.  We would then distribute those masks to our community and throughout our country as Ahmadis. 

 We partnered with Humanity First to identify singular cities to donate one half of the handmade masks.   The intent behind this effort was to have a concentrated impact of generativity and generosity infused into a community that was hard hit by the corona virus, Covid-19.

On June 13th, 2020, National Sadr Lajna, Dhiya Bakr Sahiba, along with sister Samina Noor, National Handicraft Secretary and members of Humanity First, visited one such city, Chicago, Illinois.  Thousands of face coverings/masks that you pain- stakingly and loving stitched together, before Ramadhan, during Ramadhan and beyond Ramadhan were donated to the Chicago area at large.  Representatives from various organizations came out to pick up masks for their needy populations.  Alhamdulillah!
