2023 Turkey Earthquake Recovery for Children

Dear MaviKalem donor,

Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your generous and continuous support to MaviKalem's 2023 Turkey Earthquake Recovery for Children project.

Following the February 6 earthquakes, MaviKalem began emergency response efforts in the earthquake zone to empower affected communities. With your donations, we met the basic needs of children and women, built playgrounds, and conducted psychosocial support activities.

More than 1.5 years have passed since the earthquakes. However, most of the population, especially in Hatay province, continues to live in container cities. Protection from hot and cold weather in temporary shelters brings many hygiene and health risks. For this reason, we attach importance to providing basic hygiene and sanitation kits, especially during the summer months. Since our last report, with your donations, we have provided hygiene kits for 300 more children and basic care kits for 200 babies.

We also continued to implement psychosocial support activities to promote children's well-being, with 180 children benefiting in the past three months. We strive to ensure that recovery assistance reaches every individual, leaving no one behind, and your support has been instrumental in ensuring this.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support. Your contributions have made a significant impact and we look forward to your continued support as we work for the long-term recovery and development of earthquake-affected communities.

With our gratitude,

MaviKalem Team
