In efforts to promote safety and protection during COVID-19, Avantor has donated thermometers and more than 1.5 million surgical masks to organizations across the globe. In India, working closely with The American India Foundation (AIF), Avantor is targeting the distribution of 300 infrared thermometers and 90,000 surgical and N95 masks over the course of the next couple of weeks.

Elaborating on the roll out of the program, Mr. Ohri, added, “The schools have been shortlisted based on the need and urgency of providing safe spaces for children to return to school. Around 85 schools in Mumbai, 100 schools in Jammu and 66 schools in Delhi will receive Avantor’s support.“

AIF’s Country Director Mathew Joseph said, “Students are eager to return to school where they find stability in learning outcomes, as well as emotional security by bonding with their friends. In such circumstances, the support system needs to ensure that children return to school in a safe environment, and we are grateful to Avantor for their generous gesture. Through our education programs, AIF is building back a better normal for school children.“
