In addition, they also supported Ridge Manor in Kentucky.  Through their immense networks, over 50,000 people in Florida received our aid.

We met Ayca at the onset of the Türkiye 🇹🇷 earthquake in 2023. She worked hard for @globalempowermentmissionmena Türkiye and then as a fearless woman expanded our missions into countries where women are suppressed. She empowered other women by showing leadership and freedom. She’s done this in Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza and more. This video shows our latest mission into Syria 🇸🇾. We sent three semi trucks of aid into the newly liberated areas that are now forgotten from the news cycles.  Congrats Ayça on your new expanded role as Executive Director of our GEM Türkiye chapter. #syria #türkiye @andadernegi
