Project Report | Jun 30, 2026
Turkey and Syria: We need your help to restart

By Samy Refaat | Relations Officer

Dear Supporter,

At this time, there are no new ontheground updates to share for this campaign.

The simple reality is that donations have slowed significantly, and we have been unable to resume aid on this project. You may remember that this project was created to provide emergency food, clean water, medical assistance, winter clothing, and shelter to families affected by the 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and northern Syria. While we were able to respond quickly in the early stages of the crisis, our ability to continue depends directly on the support we receive.

The need hasn't gone away. Families are still living in damaged or temporary structures, struggling to access basic necessities. The longterm needs—rebuilding homes, restoring infrastructure, and providing ongoing support—remain critical.

Your donation today can help us reactivate this vital project. With renewed contributions, we can restart distributions of food baskets, hygiene kits, and shelter materials, and continue standing with earthquake survivors who urgently need assistance.

Please consider giving today. Together, we can help families rebuild.

With hope and determination,

Smile Givers International Team
