2023 Ramadan Activities: Earthquake Victims and Abroad

Care Association has been actively operating in earthquake areas, especially after the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş last February. From the first days, 183 staff and volunteers, 65 aid trucks, and 48 transport vehicles carried out effective aid distribution in the region. They supported a total of 300,000 earthquake victims before Ramadan. Now, the association continues its activities in earthquake areas during Ramadan and also carries out aid activities for those in need on the African continent. With iftar dinner distribution, food package support, and aid to tent cities, hundreds of thousands of people were made happy.
