Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria: Rescue from the first hour
Thanks to your donation, helpers can be there immediately when people suddenly
find themselves in great need. Just like on the Turkish-Syrian border due to 
the devastating earthquakes. In such a situation, every minute really counts, 
so that people who have been buried can be rescued quickly and the injured 
can be treated immediately. Thanks to donations our alliance organization 
provides people in the earthquake area with food, drinking water, emergency 
power and warm accommodation. Not only in the earthquake area, but worldwide, 
donations enable us to help people directly.

In addition, we are currently using your donations primarily here:

• In Ukraine, the partners of our organizations continue to provide important 
winter aid. They provide people with stoves, warm clothing and blankets, and 
repair windows and doors to make buildings habitable again.
• In many East African countries, our alliance organizations support people
 who, after years of drought, are no longer able to bring in their own crops. 
The helpers distribute special seeds that grow even when it is dry, so that 
the farmers can finally harvest again. In addition, together with local partners, 
they are building water reservoirs and new wells so that there is enough water 
available even in dry times.
• In Yemen, which is plagued by civil war, our alliance organizations have 
been providing emergency aid for many years. Families receive medical care 
and are given food and drinking water. Due to mines and duds, there are many 
people with disabilities. They get prostheses so they can walk again. In this 
way, many can again provide for their own livelihood.

Your solidarity with people worldwide gives hope!

Thank you for supporting children, women and men in emergency situations. Sudden 
disasters put people in great distress. Your donation helps show them they are not 
alone! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your commitment.
