Happening right now! Training of volunteers for the NORM Mask project in #Nepal. Grateful for the grassroots-level work of our local partners! #COVID19

After #Bangladesh, #Pakistan & #India, the NORM project is almost ready to be launched in #Nepal 🎉🙌🏽

Trusted leaders are an important component for the NORM approach. We’re happy that Paras Khadka will be an ambassador for the #NepalWearsMasks project. Preeti Adhikary

Happy to hear that Ministry of Health & Population, Nepal is starting a #mask campaign in #Nepal. As we get ready to launch NORM Mask there, it is great to have an aligned message from the government (Ministry of Health). 🙏🏽 onlinekhabar.com/2021/08/994020 #NepalWearsMasks #WearAMask

Developing countries are getting double whammy with #COVID19 & natural disasters. During the recent floods in #Nepal, many people lost lives & livelihood. Melamchi is one of the first hotspots for the #NepalWearsMasks project by NORM Mask w/ Innovations for Poverty Action Gates Foundation

The NORM Mask Campaign was launched yesterday in #Nepal with dignitaries in-person and on #Zoom. Roshan Raj Shrestha from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and I also shared our thoughts on this evidence-based project started by Yale University, Stanford Un…lnkd.in/dcgcaJ4e

Mask distribution through NORM Mask starts in #Nepal. The colorful cloth bags are a staple for deliveries and have a very local touch, along with the use of mascots. Also happy that our volunteers are staying safe with #masks & gloves. abcdkhabar.com/news/details/2… #NepalWearsMasks

What does #mask distribution look like in a place like #Nepal? Volunteers go door to door (or shop to shop), tell people about the project, and post stickers outside the places they have visited. NORM Mask fb.watch/7tyb35FAcb/ #WearAMask #NepalWearsMasks

Thank you Nepali Times for highlighting the work of NORM Mask in #Nepal 🙏🏽 #NepalWearsMasks #WearAMask

🚨 Important new study out today🚨 First of its kind large randomized trial in a real world setting demonstrating impact of masking on COVID poverty-action.org/study/impact-m…

"Nail in the coffin proof" that surgical masks limit COVID spread. Go team Innovations for Poverty Action & NORM Mask

Fantastic work from the team!

🔥🧵⬇️ Not only has @mushfiq_econ led this study but poured his own heart, soul, connections, & time to ensure resources flow not just to #Bangladesh but across South Asia to reach 100MM+ ppl w NORM Mask. Then goes & gives the rest of us credit. Incredible team w bold caring ldr.

This line sums up the importance of studies like the Bangladesh NORM Mask study. "In the absence of systematic research on the costs and benefits of mask requirements for kids, the issue has been transformed into a right-left political battle." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Thanks The Washington Post for covering the important work of Team NORM Mask 🙏🏽

We are all so weary after so much pandemic life. And I think the NORM Mask & Innovations for Poverty Action teams might need a bit of a break. But what drives me is 1) collaborations w good ppl and 2) hope that all the effort might truly matter to even a handful of families
