The devastating earthquakes of February 6, 2023, which affected millions of people, will be remembered as one of the darkest days in Turkey’s history. However, during this challenging time, Valide Humanitarian Aid Association was on the ground from the very first moment, mobilizing to heal the wounds of the affected communities.
Immediately after the earthquake, our search and rescue teams reached the disaster areas and began operations. During this process, we successfully rescued dozens of injured individuals from the rubble. Following the search and rescue efforts, we delivered ready-to-eat food to the teams working in the rubble and to the earthquake victims.
We provided additional support by supplying blankets and winter clothing to those in need. Once the initial acute phase was over, we set up hundreds of tents to provide shelter for displaced individuals in the affected areas. Additionally, we established tent classrooms to support the continuation of education.
This great disaster once again reminded us of the power of unity and solidarity. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our donors and volunteers who helped us deliver aid, reaffirming our commitment to building a stronger future together.
We hope that such a disaster never happens again and remind everyone of the importance of being more prepared for emergencies as a society.
Valide Humanitarian Aid Association continues to bring hope to regions in Africa that lack access to clean water. Completed with the support of 50 generous donors, "Brotherhood 7 Water Well" was put into service for the local community with a opening ceremony and prayers.
As part of the work we carry out in Nigeria through the Valide Association, we presented copies of the Holy Quran to our student brothers and sisters in the region. At the end of the line set up in a dusty, earthen square, each student left holding a trust they will carry with them for a lifetime.
As part of the relief efforts we are carrying out in Nigeria through the Valide Association, we provided hot meals to our brothers and sisters in need in the region.
