Turkey Mozaik Foundation’s response to Kahramanmaras earthquakes

Four months ago, Türkiye was struck by devastating earthquakes that caused widespread damage and loss of life, leaving numerous individuals without homes. In the aftermath of the disaster, Turkey Mozaik Foundation immediately launched a relief effort to help those affected.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we provided £2.5 million in grants to 65 projects of local civil society organisations working to support affected areas and survivors. We are grateful for the outpouring of support from our community of friends and donors.

The grants we provided covered a wide range of essential areas including:

Search & Rescue: We offered urgent support to organisations on the ground involved in search and rescue operations.
Shelter: Our grants contributed to meeting the temporary housing needs of individuals who lost their homes.
Emergency supplies: We provided emergency relief by supporting organisations that distributed kits to meet the immediate needs of the individuals who have lost everything.
Hygiene kits: Women and girls were provided with menstrual hygiene products, underwear, and other essential supplies, ensuring they could manage their periods safely and with dignity.
Food assistance: We provided support to organisations delivering hot meals & food packages, and to soup kitchens and food banks, guaranteeing survivors’ access to safe and nutritious food.
Cash assistance: Shopping cards were distributed to enable survivors to determine and meet their own needs at any time.
WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene): We provided clean water, mobile toilets, laundry and shower facilities, and distributed personal hygiene supplies, effectively preventing the spread of diseases.
Psychosocial support: Our grants included the provision of psychological first aid, individual and group counselling, and art and play therapies for children and adults who have been traumatised by the earthquakes.
Educational support: We offered school supplies, musical instruments to students and instructors of music departments, and supported organisations providing training, mentoring and support to teachers where education was disrupted after the earthquakes.
Economic development: We provided support to help individuals rebuild their livelihoods in the affected regions.
Health: Our grants enabled the provision of medical supplies and ensured survivors’ access to healthcare services.
Capacity building: We provided support to organisations conducting trainings for local organisations and communities to better respond to future disasters by increasing resilience.

We are proud to have played a role in rebuilding lives and communities in Türkiye. Our work continues as we strive to support long-term recovery efforts and address ongoing needs in various areas.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Turkey Mozaik Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Turkey Mozaik Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Turkey Mozaik Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Turkey Mozaik Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Turkey Mozaik Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
