Local NGO collects MVR 1.3M in tuna cans to donate to Syrians

Local NGO, International Aid Campaign (IAC) has marked the successful completion of its campaign to collect tuna cans to donate to Muslims in war-torn Syria.

IAC had begun its campaign, Masdhalhu Hadhiya, with the objective of collecting enough tuna cans to fill a container, back in October.

IAC reports it collected 1,800 cases of tuna cans (86,400 cans) by December 25. The collection is valued at MVR 1.3 million.

The NGO is working on delivering the tuna cans to Syria by February 2020.

It has thanked all parties who donated the tuna cans to the NGO in its two-month campaign.
