Earthquake relief for Turkey

Caritas Albania

The action

On February 6, 2023, Turkey was hit by a series of earthquakes, one of the most powerful to hit the region in 100 years, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries. Thousands of people are under ruins.

Caritas Albania is launching this national initiative to support the affected families by inviting Albanians in Albania and abroad to unite together and donate directly through the Smile platform.

The funds will be donated to Caritas International Confederation, which is operating in Turkey while providing aid during this difficult situation that the country is going through. These funds will be used for the priority needs of families and children affected by the earthquake, the homeless, who have been living outside in extremely cold weather. They have urgent needs for shelter, food, clothing, medical assistance, etc.

Please let us all contribute together today to this urgent cause, by helping all those who need our solidarity more than ever today. Our thoughts and hearts are with all those affected by this tragedy.
