Why support matters

People need a path through the crisis

The earlier death toll and rescue reports belong to the initial response. Safe accommodation, structural assessments, reliable water and the restoration of livelihoods are central to the next phase for affected communities.

This AidWorkers.com campaign is independent. Cited organisations are evidence sources and are not presented as partners or recipients of donations to AidWorkers.com.

  • Safe temporary accommodation
  • Home assessment and repairs
  • Water and essential services
  • Livelihood and school recovery

Donation transparency

What this independent campaign supports

Urgency should never come at the expense of honesty. This page separates verified emergency evidence from AidWorkers.com's own role.

Your donation can support

  • Monitoring and publishing verified emergency information.
  • Practical crisis, preparedness and field-focused resources.
  • Due diligence, coordination and response-readiness work.
  • Authorised direct or partner support connected to the emergency where feasible and properly controlled.

What we will not imply

  • That AidWorkers.com is part of a government or a cited organisation.
  • That a gift has reached an affected family or named organisation unless that transfer is confirmed.
  • That reported impact or response figures will remain unchanged.

Is this a government or agency appeal?

No. This is an independent AidWorkers.com campaign. Named organisations provide evidence and are not presented as partners or recipients.

Does a donation guarantee a direct payment to a family?

No such promise is made. Donations can support verified public information, practical resources, response readiness and authorised direct or partner support where feasible. Confirmed transfers or deliveries should be reported separately.

How current are the figures?

Verified housing assistance delivery, building assessments and the restoration of services. Keep aftershock monitoring separate from judgments about individual building safety.
