Never before as a global community have we realized that we are all connected through this pandemic.  They are times such as these that we need to pull together and support one another. Let's do our part and stay safe for our community by wearing a face mask while in public settings. 

• For every mask purchased, Ubuntu Life will give a mask to members of our community in Kenya.
• We are creating non-medical grade face masks to help protect our community from the spread of COVID_19. These masks are reusable, washable & designed for comfort from repurposed materials from our production line. 
• One size fits all (9.5cm x 21cm) with tie closure. 
• Tie closure offers the most comfort & adaptability. Allowing you to secure your mask and adjust to your face. Comfort is key & these are the most comfortable for all-day wear!
• 100% Polyester 
• Sublimation printed Kuba cloth design 
• Our goals are to provide our global community with reliable and safe masks while keeping our Maker Mums employed and empowered.
• We recommend washing your mask before the first wear & after each time-worn in public. 
• Handmade by our Maker Mums in Maai Mahiu, Kenya
• *Please understand that this mask is not a replacement for medical-grade Personal Protective Equipment, and is not intended to replace other recommended measures to stop the community spread of COVID-19.

Care instructions:

To spot treat, wet the Wash & Stain Bar and gently work into the stained area(s). Remove soap and dirt with a wet Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth—be sure to remove all soap. Dampen the cloth as needed, and repeat the process until satisfied.

If necessary, gently wipe your print with a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with water. Never use chemicals to clean your print. When doing so ensure that all leather parts are carefully protected from water.
