In the aftermath of the spring surge, GoodWeave successfully prioritized the distribution of PPE and food, as well as assisted in providing vital supplies for those affected by the virus in Indian and Nepal.
In India, hundreds of thousands were newly infected, and thousands of deaths reported. Cases of COVID-19 are increased significantly in Nepal this year as well.Despite the risks, many factories and sub-contractors are producing and shipping goods, especially those where workers are living on site. Which is why GoodWeave continues to work with licensed exporters as well as non-licensed organizations to unite across the industry to lessen the impact on workers at-large.
Along with on the ground aid, GoodWeave is conducting information outreach campaigns about the virus, and vaccine availability, as well as exploring more opportunities to increase vaccination distribution.
