Axis: Reconstruction

Office: International

In response to the February 6, 2023 earthquakes that struck southern Turkey near the northern border of Syria, CADENA International implemented a comprehensive response. In the second phase of this response, we engaged in the reconstruction of the affected community to generate a long-term positive impact. Working hand in hand with our volunteers and our local partner, REMAR S.OS, we built 130 temporary shelters for Turkish and Syrian families.

These shelters were built with insulating material to protect the families from the temperatures, and they were also transportable if necessary. These spaces were also furnished and equipped to provide families with a decent home. Our collaboration with local partners was essential to tailor our actions to the specific needs of the community and ensure that our assistance was effective and sustainable. In total, we built 130 shelters benefiting 520 people.
