Our beloved country is facing the biggest disaster in its history, spanning across 10 cities in the southeastern provinces of Turkiye. Search and rescue operations are continuing in very dire winter conditions. WHO, the World Health Organization, has issued a LEVEL 3 Emergency for the disaster, the highest possible level.

Sampa has formed a quick response aid unit, ‘The Sampa Earthquake Help Coordination Center’, collecting items to be delivered to the disaster region, in coordination with the Turkish Emergency Response and Disaster Management Authority, AFAD and the Red Crescent. Our relief efforts have been delivered to the disaster region, thanks to the great effort of our volunteers.

Here are some options for our international friends and partners if you wish to contribute to the Sampa Relief Fund. Thank you for your support.
