In February 2023 a devastating earthquake hit south east Turkey near the Syrian border, killing over 50 000 people including children and injuring many thousands. Thanks to your help, Save the Children and its partners were among the first to support earthquake-affected families. The Save the Children Emergency Fund enabled Save the Children to provide emergency food rations, blankets, tents, hygiene kits, safe drinking water as well as helping families to access health services. We are grateful to Aldis Deal for allowing Deal Save the Children to collect at the store for the appeal.
Sarah Spong also spoke to Temple Ewell WI and the Rosamand Club (the Baptist Church in Walmer) about the work of Save the Children.
