Project Report | Nov 3, 2017
READY TO WINTER

By Huseyin Recepoglu | Project Leader

Turkey now hosts the world’s largest community of Syrians displaced by the ongoing conflict in their country. According to official data, there were 3.2 million Syrian refugees in Turkey by the end of 2015 and as of June 2017, this number is up to 2.85 million. 90% of these refugees are living outside the camps; in city centres, towns or villages.

One of them is F. A.

F. A. is telling us: "I work in olive business. First in the olive groves, and when that’s done at the press… In exchange for my work, the bosses give me oil instead of cash and I swap it for coal. This way we can stay warm, but we don’t have money to buy clothes. For two years, I hadn’t been able to buy even socks for my children. Today we went to the store for the first time. My son turned to me and asked, ‘Dad, is it Bayram tomorrow?’ We are all very happy. Especially the kids, they are happy as if they are living a festival. When the war is over, we will go back home to Idlib. But it’s already been four and half years here, I don’t know when we will be able to return."  

In this project , we aimed that  refuge populations have access to essential winter items such as boots, jackets  to reduce their vulnerabilities during the harsh winter weather conditions in Turkey.

This winter will warmer more refugees this year with the support of generous donors to our campaign.

Thank you for helping us to reach out to people who are in need!

Your donation to the “COLD TEMPS. to WARM HANDS - REFUGEE WINTER AID ” Project will directly support the our winterization efforts. These funds will help ensure that the most vulnerable Syrian  refugees have the clothes they need to prepare for and cope during the winter months.”

We are already thanking you for your help and we are making a full-fledged arrival to prepare a warmer winter for the refugees
