These shields can be disinfected daily and re-used. Donate here.

The costs presented in this proposal is based on current quotes from reputable suppliers who have sufficient stock. The cost per unit is based on an average cost which includes delivery (and delivery insurance). Once we are ready to place our orders (when we receive funds) we will do our best to negotiate even better rates where possible.
