Emergency Fundraiser: Earthquake in Turkey & Syria

This is an urgent fundraiser to support people - among those family, friends, and neighbors - in Southern Turkey and Northern Syria after 7.8 magnitude earthquake(s). The funds donated will be directly passed on to the non-profit organizations listed below. We have selected these orgs with great care, awareness, and responsibility:

• ahbap.org: An Istanbul based humanitarian non-profit org. The Ahbap crisis coordination team has been deploying emergency teams to help in-the-field. Ahbap has been providing emergency buses equipped with basic sanitation facilities and access to clean water. Its founder, Hauk Levent - a Turkish philanthropist and artist - is providing live updates on the org's efforts and the current situation through various channels. 
• oxfam.org.uk: An international humanitarian non-profit org with local teams in both Syria and Turkey. In cooperation with international partners, they are currently assessing various humanitarian efforts to help those affected by the devastating earthquakes. Their efforts can be regularly checked here. 

There is no personal or institutional affiliation with these orgs. We are simply trying to join forces and support not only our relatives, but all people in the affected regions the best way we can - from afar. If you do have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.
