TÜRKİYE NEEDS OUR HELP!

We are deeply saddened by the earthquake that struck southeastern Türkiye and resulted in the loss of many lives. Our condolences to those who lost loved ones. And we wish quick recovery to all of the injured.

Two massive earthquakes have struck the southeastern part of Türkiye and were felt in multiple countries. Severe damage and many casualties are reported. Türkiye has requested immediate international assistance. In sympathy with everyone in the area, please help us raise funds for those affected.

BTF’s approach to supporting the relief efforts of the Turkish Earthquake will be delivered in four phases.

PHASE 1, RECOVERY: Provide immediate assistance with food, water, and warmth during the recovery period. First 10 Days.

PHASE 2, PROTECT: Provide immediate assistance for sheltering with large yurt tents, container homes, portable toilets/showers, water tanks, generators, stoves. ~ First 40 Days.

PHASE 3, REBUILD: Provide well-being for children’s health and education. Rebuild new lives for survivors with impactful boutique projects to cover their mid-term needs. ~  First 6 Months.

PHASE 4, SUSTAIN: Provide long-term relief for those impacted to enrich their lives with sustained solutions. ~ Beyond the first 6 Months.

100% of the funds collected by BTF for earthquake relief will be disbursed to AHBAP and other local worthy partners in the upcoming days.

We thank each and every one of the individuals, organizations, volunteers, and leaders contributing to this endeavor.
