Face Masks For everybody!! Introducing Passa Paa's ONE for ONE Project.
In April 2020 we started making face masks. Our co-founder Pok knew that we had to find a way to bring income to our team of artisans whilst also helping people that were struggling with the impact of the COVID-19 situation.
Although Laos has (to date 30.6.20) managed to contain the virus, many communities feel vulnerable. Large families live together in small houses, and here the health care system couldn't handle an epidemic.
One for One is a simple concept. For every mask that a customer buys we give one mask to someone that needs it. The price is slightly higher than our regular retail price, both the customer and Passa Paa cover the cost of giving the mask away for free. In Laos, our retail price is 55,000kip for a mask, our One for One price is 78,000 kip. **
Our face masks have three layers. 1. an inner lining, 2. a surgical cloth and 3. one of our trademark handmade print designs.
Our face mask can be bought in three ways.
1. at our regular retail price.
2. as a wholesale item (minimum order of 100 pieces)
AND
3. as part of our ONE for ONE Project.
The price is slightly higher than our regular retail price, both you and Passa Paa cover the cost of giving the mask away for free.
Do you have a community that needs masks? Let us know - we could partner with you to bring face masks to your community.
Build a Nest.org started a relief grant and a private donation from Switzerland enabled us to give:
500 free face masks to The Language Project, Luang Prabang.
500 to Save the Children, Laos.
1000 to Big Brother Mouse, Luang Prabang
500 to Luang Prabang School for Children with Disabilities
150 to Lao villagers.

** please note that website prices are higher than retail price in Laos. Why? DHL is the only company shipping from Laos, they do this once a week for an exorbitant price, we then pay taxes to HMRC and then we distribute from the UK.
