“The pandemic calls for the responsibility of everyone for extraordinary support. At Bestseller Foundation we are supporting MSF’s crucial efforts. Not least are we very concerned with the spread of the virus in densely populated areas in India and across many African countries, where an uncontrollable spread of the virus could lead to a severe humanitarian crisis. In addition to our donation, we are proud to see our colleagues from the Bestseller brands helping to raise further awareness about MSF’s work”, Jannek Hagen, managing director of Bestseller Foundation, said.
