Opportunity International Savings and Loans Limited (OISL), a leading savings and loans company in Ghana has donated 10,000 pieces of face masks to its clients.

The donation was part of OISL’s actions in combatting the spread of the novel coronavirus in various communities it serves. 

Clients were taken through brief education on the Covid-19 protocols and the need for clients and their households to observe the guidelines especially, frequently washing their hands with soap under running water, wearing of facemasks and physical distancing.
