Disaster Relief in Turkey & Syria 🇹🇷🇸🇾
On Monday, 6 February 2023 a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Turkey and Syria, killing over 50,000 people (updated 27 Feb), injuring over 100,000 and displacing over 5 million at the latest count with thousands of buildings having collapsed.
It is the worst earthquake disaster to have affected Turkey since 1939. Conditions for millions of people in both countries are absolutely dire, with particular worry for northwestern Syria where over 4 million people were already relying on humanitarian assistance for survival prior to the earthquake. Weather conditions are freezing, making rescue efforts difficult and also endangering survivors, as millions are displaced. More than 100 aftershocks have already hit and can have lethal effects as well.
We have 4 projects on the Giveth platform that are raising funds directly for disaster relief (as usual, 100% of all donations go directly to the project and since these are all verified projects, you’ll receive GIVbacks for donating).
Anka Relief: Anka Relief is a crypto aid fund & a community formed to support Turkey after the recent earthquakes. Their goal is to foster collaboration in the web3 community, creating a trusted and sustainable relief fund, while closely cooperating with other mission-aligned organizations — like Türkiye Earthquake Relief DAO and Paribu Ventures.
GRACEaid Earthquake relief: GRACEaid is an established charity founded in London in 2015. They are launching this appeal to support two established and experienced NGOs providing assistance in Turkey and Syria, Ahbap and Molham Team, to meet immediate humanitarian needs and lessen suffering in the aftermath.
BanklessDAO Turkey Disaster Relief Fund: This donation fund will contribute to the aid needed by the tens of thousands of people left homeless, including their animals. The aid will primarily target the needs for shelter, food, hygiene and healthcare products.
Earthquake Relief QF Matching Pool: If you’d like to amplify your contributions and have funds go to where they are needed most, consider donating funds to this matching pool. After the 20th of March, if we receive at least $25,000 to this project, all funds donated will be distributed using the Allo Protocol, the latest evolution of Gitcoin Grants, just as was done in the Alpha round. If this project does not receive the minimum target amount ($25,000), all funds will be evenly distributed to the 3 projects above.

They take food that would be destined for the landfill and divert it so that housed and unhoused members of the community have access to home-cooked nutritional meals, clean drinking water, laundered clothing and personal hygiene needs.

PizzaDAO and Giveth are at it again! We want to serve up some slices to the people experiencing homelessness in the city during ETH Denver 2023, and you have the chance to be a part of the journey!
