Helping Earthquake Victims Recover

The earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria devastated communities, homes and families. When a humanitarian crisis of this magnitude strikes, Lions are among the first to respond. Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) grant funding is making sure Lions can provide immediate, short- and long-term relief to the victims of this unfathomable disaster.

Updates on our progress

LCIF grants awarded – LCIF awarded over US$5 million in grant funding to the Lions in Türkiye to provide immediate and long-term relief to the victims of one of the largest earthquakes to hit the region in 100 years. As new relief needs emerge, additional grants may be awarded. Through LCIF’s collaboration with MD 111 and the German Lions Foundation, we are exploring ways to provide earthquake relief in Syria.

Disaster Relief Fund* – LCIF is actively collecting donations to its Disaster Relief Fund, which will help ensure Lions are not only there to help communities impacted by this disaster but will also enable Lions to serve people around the globe impacted by disasters yet to come.

*Donations received will be considered funds for the country indicated by the donor when specifically requested, and LCIF will only designate them to another disaster when the local Lions Disaster Relief Committee determines there is no further need in that country.

Lions in Mersin

Thanks to your generous donations and support from LCIF, Lions in Mersin Province have created a Community Center that serves as a place of refuge and renewal for families recovering from the Türkiye earthquake. The center offers childcare and hands-on skills training that help restore routine, confidence and opportunity. In a warm, welcoming space filled with laughter and practical courses, survivors rebuild dignity, strengthen livelihoods and take meaningful steps forward each day.

Lions in Antakya

In Antakya, one of the communities most deeply affected by the Türkiye earthquake in Hatay Province, Lions are helping families recover and reimagine their future thanks to your generous donations, with support from LCIF. A Lions Community Center now feeds 500 people daily and expands early childhood care for local families. These initiatives honor what was lost while investing in a resilient, hopeful tomorrow.
