Giants International, an NGO founded by Nana Chudasama, along with I Love Mumbai and Aditya Thackeray and Shaina N C's NGO, The Dream We Share, will distribute N95 masks for free today.

The idea came about when they realised people cannot afford the expensive N95 masks prescribed to prevent contracting swine flu.

Helping Hand: Shaina N C with Aditya Thackeray decided to distribute N95 masks for free after they realised people cannot afford them.

MiD DAY had reported this week how the N95 facemasks, available for Rs 75-80, are selling at three times the price.

"Masks will be distributed at the Giants International office on the 2nd floor at Oriental Club Building opposite Nana Nani Park at Chowpatty between 11 am and 5 pm," said Shaina.
