Turkey Winter Emergency:

Providing Warmth and Shelter for Earthquake-Affected Families

As winter descends upon Turkey, the challenges faced by the thousands of people made homeless by this year’s earthquakes have reached a critical point.

Penny Appeal's Winter Emergency campaign is dedicated to providing a lifeline for those in need, offering warmth and support to the most vulnerable communities.

The Crisis at a Glance

4 Million Refugees: Turkey is home to 4 million refugees, each facing the harsh reality of winter without adequate resources.

70,000 Homeless: Turkey is grappling with one of the world's most severe homelessness emergencies since the recent earthquakes, leaving 70,000 people without a place to call home.

2.5 Million Children in Need: The situation is grim for the youth, with 2.5 million children in Turkey requiring urgent humanitarian assistance to survive the winter months.

Water Systems in Peril: Widespread damage to water systems amplifies the struggle, making access to clean water even more challenging for those in need.

Winter's New Challenges

As winter sets in, the challenges multiply. The biting cold becomes a formidable foe, especially for those without shelter or adequate resources. Penny Appeal is on a mission to alleviate this suffering and provide a glimmer of warmth and hope.
