We feel deeply about the earthquake in Turkey and Syria which has tragically impacted the lives of so many people, including those within our SRH family. SRH wishes to respond to this devastating news through raising funds to send via Oxfam.
Here is some information from Oxfam.
WHY YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
In the early hours of 6 February, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria, followed by another earthquake soon afterwards. Many thousands of people have been killed. Survivors who have been forced to flee their homes are now facing freezing temperatures. Infrastructure is heavily damaged, and we know that means people will struggle to find safe shelter, water and food.
Oxfam has launched an appeal to support people affected by this disaster. Our teams in Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria are working with partner organisations to assess the types of immediate and longer-term support that are needed to help people in the aftermath of Monday’s devastating earthquakes. The emergency response is expected to include water and sanitation, shelter and food support as well as longer-term rehabilitation and reconstruction.
Any donation, big or small, matters right now.
Parents will find a payment notification in your Parentmail account, for those who feel they can directly support our fund raising, but we will also have buckets available at the entrances to school this afternoon, Thursday at the start and end of day and on Friday morning. The Parentmail Shop will allow you to add selected denominations from £5.00, if you wish to contribute more, please add extra via the "optional amount" section.
Thank you for your support.
