Earlier this year, MAP International and Flexport.org partnered to get critical medicines to displaced people in Burkina Faso. There, the humanitarian crisis is often overlooked. "At MAP International, we say that everyone gets sick, but not everyone gets medicine," said Brooke Allison, Director of Programs at MAP International. "Our partnership with Flexport.org thrives because we work toward a joint mission to help those in need, and also understand what it takes to efficiently ship large quantities of medicines so that more people who get sick have access. That shared vision is what makes this partnership so successful." Learn more about MAP International's work at https://www.map.org/.
