“This project enabled us to extend our reach to unconnected communities, particularly Arabic speakers in Turkey who were significantly impacted by a recent crisis. Teyit's invaluable assistance, as they helped us share our awareness campaign on their social media accounts, amplified its impact within the Arabic-speaking community in Turkey, and inspired us to further expand our coverage.”
