Support for Turkiye & Syria Earthquake Relief Efforts

Om den här Gåvomöjlighet

Following a 7.8 Earthquake on the morning of February 6th, Turkiye and Syria are dealing with unprecidented damage and destruction.  More than 6,000 people have died and thousands have been displaced. Rescuers are racing to pull survivors from beneath the rubble and assist the injured.   

First responders are jumping into action to meet the needs of those affected. The Turkish Red Crescent and Mercy Corps operate in the region and are providing essential aid to those in need. 

Most of the communities depend on elevated tanks of water. Most of these elevated tanks of water were the first ones to fall, or to fall into disrepair, leaving countless people without water. With the help of our partner Planet Water, we’re fundraising for deployment of additional AquaBlock Water Filtration Systems that provide clean, safe drinking water to 10,000 people per system.

Xylem Watermark will match your donations to support these impacted communities, and are working with our partners to provide assistance as the situation unfolds.
