Qatar Airways has signed a formal partnership agreement with Airlink promising to transport 200 tonnes of humanitarian aid free-of-charge over the next two years.

Under the new agreement, Airlink, its non-profit partner AFYA Foundation,
and Qatar Airways conducted their first project transporting over 64,000 pounds of soap to Botswana.

Hand washing is critical to mitigating the spread of Corona. This shipment of soap was donated to a local organization based in Gaborone, Botswana, in order to provide basic, but vital assistance.
According to UNICEF and the World Health Organization, 3 billion people around the world do not have access to handwashing facilities with water and soap at home.

Qatar Airways recently signed a two-year partnership with United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Refugee Agency to
deliver humanitarian relief and assistance to the displaced globally.
