“Hi, my name is Nisa. I study at Politecnico di Torino and stay at Collegio Einaudi – Crocetta residence hall.
As you may have heard two massive earthquakes happened in Turkey, where my family lives. My family and everyone else I know lost their homes. Our family friends and relatives lost their lives.There are still people to be rescued under ruins.
Moreover, everyone in the city is without a place to live and in need of food, a warm tent and medical assistance.
As the number of victims is massive (1.61 million in only my city – 10 cities were affected seriously), some organizations that help my people need donations.
It would mean a lot if you can donate, even a small amount helps as 10 euros = 200 turkish liras.
Thank you in advance for your support.”
We join the message of our student Nisa and express our full closeness and solidarity with her and with all the populations involved in this tragedy..
We strongly believe that being part of a community means learning to contribute to the creation of common well-being, for this reason in the list below you will find some non-profit organizations indicated by Nisa and our Foundation which will be able to give concrete support to the populations affected by the earthquake, conscious that each of us can do our part in our own small way.
