RNZ The Weekend: Helping Syrians amid a global pandemic

January 7, 2021

 

Mike Seawright went from being an investment banker to setting up an humanitarian organisation that helps families affected by the brutal civil war inside Syria. In 2020, ReliefAid had their busiest year to date in terms of the number of people they supported with shelter and hygiene kits to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Mike joins The Weekend to discuss the challenges of providing international relief amid the global pandemic.

RNZ The Weekend’s Karyn Hay’s full interview can be listened to here
