Challenge

More than two years after the devastating earthquakes in Turkiye, recovery is far from over. Over 400,000 people are still living in temporary settlements, while many families continue to struggle to rebuild their livelihoods. Emergency relief has largely ended, but long-term recovery now depends on economic resilience. Many people still lack stable income, small businesses and local producers struggle to recover, and local civil society organizations need greater capacity to lead recovery effo

Solution

Support to Life implements a community-centered approach: Livelihoods We support individuals through skills development, employment opportunities, and income-generating activities. Localization We strengthen local organizations by improving their capacity, coordination, and leadership so they can drive long-term recovery. Community-Based Approach We empower communities to identify their own priorities, develop local solutions, and lead the recovery process.

Long-Term Impact

Recovery is not just about rebuilding homes-it is about rebuilding lives. Your support helps people regain sustainable livelihoods, strengthens local businesses and civil society organizations, and enables earthquake-affected communities to become more resilient and self-reliant. Together, we can help families move from dependence on aid toward long-term independence and dignity.
