“Being part of such a team and helping people in my country is truly a memorable moment,” said Tukin Aeydn, Arif Patel Foundation Algeria Fulfillment Center team co-lead and “Away Team” member.
The APF-donated products will support the ongoing humanitarian response through partner organizations like the International Organization for Migration (IOM), ensuring that the supplies will be delivered to families who have lost their homes in the affected areas. The work is being done in close coordination with the Government of Morocco.
