The latest designer to take action is Maria B, who is pledging to make 100,000 masks "to distribute to as many people as possible."

According to the brand, "We are currently producing 1000 masks a day in both cotton and 25 GSM approved fabric."

In a press release, Maria B stated, “The brand has always taken steps to help out Pakistan and its people wherever possible. Through our Maria.B Cares initiative we have collaborated with various organisation, government and private sectors in doing what we can, be it fighting against COVID-19, providing rations, healthcare, education or the environment. We do what we can and encourage everyone to join hands and do whatever they can to build a prosperous nation.”

The brand revealed that the team is also working closely with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) by providing them with masks, industrial/pocket sanitizers, PPE suits, gloves, face shields, caps as well as shoe covers.

but that would not reduce the crime you and your husband committed - when you put your cook/driver on a bus (or let him go out of home) knowing he would infect Million others. Even if you make 10,000,000 masks - but Thanks anyhow

First thing first, she must apologize first for sending the infected cook home. Her effort to make masks is appreciated but she hasn’t apologized yet for her gross negligence. Let’s say NO to elitism and politicians like gimmicks..

Of course she would do this to save her reputation after discarding her cook who tested covid-19 positive and making him go to his village.

Should give her the benefit of doubt and wish her the best. However, her initial reaction after backlash for letting her corona positive cook flee was appalling.

Now she is trying to protect her business. Don’t worry Maria B. People forget evil deeds. Your case is an example that this country is only for powerful & resourceful people like you. I don’t know about others but my family and I have decided to boycott your products.
