ShelterBox is responding to the devastating earthquakes that struck southern Turkey (Türkiye) and northern Syria. The humanitarian need is immense and growing. The death toll is already in the tens of thousands and only continues to rise. Thousands of buildings have been destroyed in both countries. People have been left homeless, with nowhere to sleep, in the middle of a bitter winter.

The Rotaract Club of Washington D.C. is raising funds to support ShelterBox's efforts to deliver emergency shelter and essential aid to affected families. Your support will contribute to ShelterBox's Turkey and Syria Earthquake response as part of their General Fund, which enables the organization to stay flexible and make a difference in the lives of people impacted by disasters around the world.

ShelterBox’s emergency response team is in Turkey, developing partnerships and working out how they can get supplies to the affected regions.

Shelterbox has established strong connections within Turkey, having previously responded to earthquakes in the county including the Van earthquake in 2011. Their flexible structure allows them to provide items such as thermal blankets, solar lights, tents, and cash assistance depending on the immediate needs of victims as this crisis continues to develop.
