Today, October 15, is Global Handwashing Day. A day that got started in 2008, which I never paid attention to, now has such strong meaning. Handwashing with soap and water is not only simple and inexpensive but also can dramatically reduce the number of people who get sick, including COVID-19. We are fortunate that we have easy access to clean water and soap.

A large proportion of the world population does not have access to clean water or a bar of soap. These nonprofit organizations provide soap to communities.

Learning how to wash hands the right way with these videos

With the second COVID wave arriving, the global shortage of nitrile gloves is severe. Dealing with PPE products 24/7, what I have noticed in the last two weeks in the market is worrisome.
If you need gloves to sustain your business, please secure the stock or lock the prices.
Please stop speculation, price gouging, and stockpiling. If only the needed buyers purchase gloves and use the right gloves for the required purpose, it is manageable. Consider vinyl, vinyl-nitrile-mix gloves, or latex instead of nitrile gloves for general purpose use.

Have a wonderful Handwashing Day!

Yours,

Where Covid19 continues to take lives and medical professionals and every day citizens alike continue to lack access to the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) they need, Aster Impact is bringing transparency, trust, and access to a volatile market. Led by Executive Director and Founder Leah Zveglich, Aster Impact is a social enterprise incubator dedicated to social impact. Their largest project centers on fair and legal migration for workers from countries experiencing poverty and crisis around the world in an effort to end human trafficking and forced or bonded labor. In February, when the Aster Impact team saw the failure of the free market to secure necessary PPE for all, they knew they had to do something and; Project Phoenix was born. At a time when most PPE is being purchased by the ultra wealthy to flip stocks and gain more wealth, Project Phoenix exists to help school districts, nursing homes, local governments, and small hospitals purchase the PPE they need. The Project Phoenix team takes Purchase Orders for orders as small as 10,000 nitrile gloves and as large as 1 billion masks.
