Binance Donates $100,000 to Ahbap for Turkish Earthquake Relief Efforts

Binance has announced its contribution to Turkish earthquake recovery efforts with a donation of $100,000 in cryptocurrency to Ahbap, a respected non-profit in the country. The contribution will aid in building earthquake-resistant homes for affected families, reinforcing Binance's commitment to humanitarian causes. Ahbap, founded in 2017 by renowned Turkish rock musician Haluk Levent, is famous for its various aid and recovery campaigns throughout Turkey. After the series of devastating earthquakes earlier this year, the organization is working diligently with other NGOs to support disaster-stricken areas. One of its main projects involves the construction of earthquake-resistant steel homes to provide victims with safe havens. Mucahit Donmez, Binance TR's General Manager, stated, "Recovery and rebuilding initiatives are key in helping communities bounce back from severe natural disasters. Through our partnership with Ahbap, we want to contribute time, effort, and resources to assist those in need." Haluk Levent highlighted the significance of safe shelter for affected families. Expressing gratitude for Binance's donation, he said, "Binance's contribution today will significantly boost Ahbap's efforts and allow us to reach more families, demonstrating how cryptocurrency can be wielded for social good." A part of Ahbap's recovery strategy focuses on education. "We've enabled 16 schools in affected zones via charitable contributions. Getting children back in school helps families feel more secure and supported in their rebuilding efforts," added Levent. This donation manifests Binance's broader strategy to leverage the blockchain in relief and recovery. Previously, in the wake of the Turkish earthquake, Binance dispensed financial aid to Turkish users through a $100 BNB airdrop each. Also, an Earthquake Emergency Appeal saw 100% of received crypto donations funneled into emergency supplies through partnering NGOs. This demonstrates Binance, its partners, and the wider crypto community's shared value of utilizing cryptocurrency for social good.
