For families in crisis, the cost of items that many of us take for granted, like pens and paper, can be enough to keep children out of the classroom. For Mr Ali’s orphaned grandchildren, simple school supplies supported their return to normalcy after the Türkiye earthquake.

Hayat would do anything to protect her children’s safety, even using her own body as a shield during bombings. But when she was faced with violence in her home, it was harder to speak out. With support through the AHP earthquake response, she can now find her peace.

Broken cochlear implants meant 11-year-old Cihan was missing out on school and socialising, all while displaced after an earthquake. Now he and his siblings have a brighter outlook after receiving support through the AHP response.

For the family of four-year-old Nur, who has cerebral palsy, the Türkiye earthquake added an extra layer of challenge. But with the support of local NGO Sened, through the AHP response, Nur is accessing physiotherapy and other services to support her development.

For 13-year-old Sara, access to an AHP-supported Child Friendly Space is helping her to cope with disruption and trauma after Türkiye’s devastating earthquake.
