Tent Village
A refuge for earthquake victims
Zakat Foundation Response
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked Türkiye and Syria on Feb. 6, caused over 10,000 aftershocks, claimed 50,000 lives and affected 14 million people. Zakat Foundation of America has been providing relief, medical supplies, food packs and shelter to the victims. Our Tent Village in Adiyaman, Türkiye provides needy families with a secure shelter equipped with water facilities, irrigation, electricity, and essential amenities. Daily needs are met with a supermarket, school, and mosque. The ZAKAT & İPAM Adıyaman Hope Psychotherapy Center offers medical and psychological care. The road to recovery may seem long, but with your support we will continue to provide for both short- and long-term needs.
Hope Psychotherapy Center Healing from Within
10% of earthquake victims are expected to experience mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, depression, and anxiety, among others. To ensure they receive the psychological support they require, we have launched a mental health services project. Our dedicated team will provide psychotherapy services for at least six months, helping those in need to overcome their challenges and move forward with their lives. We are proud to be the only clinic offering psychotherapy services in Adıyaman during this period and remain committed to supporting earthquake victims in Turkey as they work to rebuild their lives.
