SHOUT4MASKS was formed to raise funds to buy masks directly from factories, overcoming the risk of profiteering middlemen.
This is what we asked Danny K:
1. Can you tell us about SHOUT SA?
2. How dire is the shortage of surgical masks for healthcare workers and patients at the moment?
3. How does the average person get involved and help out?
4. Tell us about the special tiers that are available for corporates?
5. Will all donors receive a tax deduction certificate?
6. In your opinion, how well do you think South Africa is doing in our fight against coronavirus?
