The TUI Care Foundation stands in solidarity with those affected. Cape Verde is not just a destination for us - it’s a place where we have built lasting relationships through our projects, and we feel a deep responsibility to offer support. With our relief fund we will provide long-term support to affected communities and help them to receive the resources they need to recover and rebuild."
