AKP, which supports 125,000 people through a series of projects around the world, is working with its co-ordinators and community partners on several initiatives.

This work includes procuring soap and essential medical supplies to be distributed to communities, as well as supplementing the income of local women whose businesses have been forced to shut down temporarily due to the pandemic.

“Many of AKP’s partner communities lack the infrastructure and essential resources needed to even stand a chance against a global pandemic,” said the operator.

“In response to challenges that we are currently facing, AKP is mobilising our efforts around the globe.
