Malaysian social enterprise enlists refugee artisans to help produce PPE


Malaysia is still in need of PPE, as it keeps those working on the frontlines safe from the virus.

Everyone is coming together to help out the Covid-19 crisis. One social enterprise, Earth Heir, is banking on the manpower from refugees to produce and distribute personal protective equipment (PPE).

The company, which sells handcrafted heritage fashion accessories, has long worked with artisans who are refugees in Malaysia – and is now switching the production to focus on essentials needed by frontliners.
