As part of the program, the families have been distributed 1,000 food packages, whereas the necessities caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda have also not been forgotten.

The aid packages, which contain various food and hygiene products, have been delivered to Rwandan families living in the Kamonyi region, south of the capital Kigali.

Having spoken on behalf of the beneficiaries, Salim Hitimana expressed his gratitude towards the people of Turkey and stated that it was necessary to continue this aid in the future.
