Buy aid for refugees in Turkey
-
This includes around 3.6 million refugees from Syria. While efforts have been made to receive, support, and host refugees and migrants in Turkey, life is still a struggle for many.
We support refugees living in the Mersin and Adana areas of Turkey. Most refugees here are from Syria and many live within the local community. With little financial support from the Turkish government and very few NGOs working on the ground, there’s a lack of daily essentials. Thanks to your purchases, we can help provide staple food and hygiene items to support refugee families.
We work closely with Turkish charity, Acting For Change Turkey, funding the wages of their displaced aid workers, to buy these items locally. Not only does this put money back into the local economy, it also means the aid is being provided by the people who best know what’s needed there.
What aid do refugees need in Turkey?
Buy real items to meet the daily needs of refugees in Turkey. Everyday essentials such as food, hygiene products and nappies are most urgently needed here, as well as warm blankets and heaters to keep families warm during the sub-zero winters.
Buy a mattress for a refugee and give them a better, warmer night’s sleep.
Would you rather sleep on the ground or a mattress? Sadly though, sleeping on the cold, uneven ground is the reality for so many refugees. Having a mattress makes all the difference to getting a good night’s sleep, especially if you’re living in a basic brick home. Buy this mattress, and help a refugee to get a better, warmer night’s sleep.
Buy a thermal blanket as well to help keep a refugee even warmer at night.
Buy a family hygiene pack for a refugee family and provide all their cleaning essentials for an entire month.
These packs typically provide a month’s supply of hygiene essentials to a refugee family, including washing powder, toothpaste and brushes, shampoo, soap, wet wipes and washing up liquid.
Provide the entire family with the hygiene essentials they need by buying period pads for refugee women and girls and baby nappies and cream too.
The last thing a parent should have to worry about is having clean nappies and cream for their child. It’s hard enough living in a refugee camp, never mind if you don’t have the supplies to change your baby. Buy two weeks’ supply of nappies and cream and make a mother’s day.
Provide a mum with the hygiene essentials she needs too by buying period pads.
Buy 21 packs of flatbreads for a refugee family and provide them with bread to last at least a week.
In Syria, prices for food and other essential items have increased dramatically over the past few years and in other places like Turkey, international food aid has been heavily reduced. Many families are struggling to buy basic staple foods, like bread. This parcel contains 21 packs of flatbreads, enough to feed a family of 4 for a week.
Buy 4 whole chickens for a refugee family in Syria and provide enough meat for several meals.
