Support the survivors of the earthquake in Turkey

As the Turkish Student Community in Groningen, we are heartbroken to hear about the devastating impact the earthquakes had on the Turkish population. On Monday (6 February) a magnitude 7,8 earthquake struck Turkey which was followed by another earthquake of magnitude 7,6. The death toll from the catastrophic earthquakes has climbed to more than 15,000 people and thousands of buildings collapsed leaving thousands of people homeless and hopeless. Over 62.000 people have been reportedly injured and the numbers continue to increase at a high speed. We are devastated to see that that are still certain regions, that are waiting for help and have not received any help. Therefore, they are desperately waiting to receive our urgent help.

Being away from Turkey and our family leaves us heartbroken and with tears in our eyes. Therefore, we are setting up this fundraiser to help the survivors of the earthquakes. The needed essentials for the victims are winter clothes, an overcoat, raincoat, boots, sweaters, trousers, gloves, scarfs, socks, hygiene products, diapers etc.

Therefore, to facilitate the cooperation, we have set up this fundraising, to collect donations, once we achieve our goal the money will be transferred to rescue and charity organizations that are actively working to save the survivors AHBAP: a non-governmental organization that is actively helping those in need.

We would like to guarantee you that the whole process will be shared with you gradually to avoid any misunderstanding and distrust.
