Qatar Charity supports Turkiye’s earthquake victims with house rents – Türkiye

Qatar Charity (QC) continues to provide necessary assistance to sponsored families, including refugees and locals affected by the earthquake in Turkiye. This project aims to cover the house rent for approximately 250 families who lost their homes, ensuring them a dignified living in fully furnished houses.

Qatar Charity paid the rent directly to the landlords for a full year. The houses were handed over to the families most in need, especially those who took refuge in the Urfa Refugee camp, which was established by Qatar Charity a year ago after the disaster to serve as a shelter for the affected.

Qatar Charity’s role goes beyond providing housing; it has also delivered essential furniture to each family benefiting from the project, aiming to help them overcome this situation and resume their daily lives.

This project was welcomed by the beneficiaries, especially the refugees affected by the disaster.

In this context, Mrs. Um Yazan, a mother of three orphans, said, “I have been a refugee in Turkey for 10 years, and we had to stay in an orphanage. After the earthquake, the orphanage management informed us that the building was damaged, and we couldn’t return to it. I contacted Qatar Charity, which sponsors my children, and helped me find a home. The rent for a full year was paid, in addition to providing furniture. I am grateful to Qatar’s generous people who turned my dream of living in a home with my children into a reality.”

It is worth mentioning that finding a house for the earthquake victims was a significant challenge, especially after the displacement of thousands from their homes and cities. This led to a surge in rental prices.
