How to Support Disaster Relief Efforts in Türkiye With Crypto

On 6 February 2023, a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria. If you’d like to support disaster relief efforts, you can consider making a crypto donation to the following charities in Türkiye:

AHBAP is a charity organization, and it has created a crypto wallet address on the BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, and Avalanche to help the earthquake victims. These crypto addresses are approved by MASAK, Financial Crimes Investigation Board under Türkiye’s Ministry of Finance and Treasury, and will be valid until February 13 2023 for global crypto donation purposes.

Türk Kızılay is the largest humanitarian organization in Türkiye, and is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. They accept crypto donations in BTC, ETH, USDT (ERC-20 and TRC-20), USDC (ERC-20), DOT, AVAX (ARC-20), and ATOM. 

For other donations, such as in-kind or financial donations, you can check in with your local Türkiye Embassy on what donations are needed.
