Recovery and Resilience: Continuing Support of Child Earthquake Amputees

By Deniz Erdal | Intern

In the aftermath of devastating earthquakes in southeastern Türkiye in 2023, your generous contributions helped us provide critical support to affected communities. Now approaching the second anniversary of the disaster, we remain committed to long-term assistance through the CATE (Child Amputees of Türkiye Earthquakes) Project, offering life-changing scholarships and prosthetics and orthosis support for children who lost limbs in the disaster.

Though the initial period of disaster recovery has passed, these children and young adults still need your help. To date, your support has enabled life changing prosthetics and orthosis for 155 children and has further supported the continuing education of 110. By extending your support into 2025, you will be ensuring they receive continuous care and education, from their early school years all the way to college. Your contributions are not just funding medical procedures—they are rebuilding lives and providing hope for a better future.

Looking Ahead

2025 presents new opportunities for growth, innovation, and impact. With your continued generosity, we aim to continue offering long-term support to earthquake survivors through the CATE Project, ensuring they have the tools and education necessary for success. We know that your involvement is key to making these goals a reality. We thank you for standing with us, and we invite you to renew your commitment to making a lasting difference in the lives of children across Türkiye. Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to pursue their dreams and contribute to a brighter future for all!

How You Can Help:

  • Donate to the CATE Project: Your donation can provide a child with life changing prosthetics and treatment.
  • Contribute to our scholarship fund: Ensure that more students from underserved regions can access quality education.
  • Volunteer your time: Share your skills or assist with our upcoming events.
