about

In the early hours of the 6th February 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Turkey and Syria, resulting in the tragic death of over 50,000 people and injuring almost 120,000. In addition it displaced over 2.4 million people and caused total devastation to the surrounding areas. All in all it has affected in the region of 25 million people.

Off the back of two very successful online music festival fundraisers, Goths for Sanctuaries collaborated and formed the subsidiary Goths for Earthquake Relief, specifically to raise funds to assist those charities on the ground in Turkey and Syria who were best placed to offer real support.

We rapidly put together a two day fundraiser over the weekend of 18th and 19th February 2023, but we wanted to take things further, especially in view of further earthquakes hitting the region and now unprecedented flooding.

So we teamed up with Apocalyptic Witchcraft to put together this charity compilation, with all proceeds going to three wonderful charities:

The Ahbap Association - Turkey.

Established to provide all kinds of help, in the form of in-kind and cash assistance, to those in need, to strengthen the awareness of solidarity across all segments of society, help create a good society made up of good people, build modern and sustainable networks of mutual assistance and solidarity to aid new cooperation models and projects.
Since the earthquake, they are doing everything possible to help provide shelter, food, and medical supplies to those in need.

Ernestos Sanctuary - Syria.

Situated in Northwestern Syria, an area still suffering from the civil war that has affected the country for the last 10 years. At the sanctuary they take care of the forgotten victims - Syria’s animals. They have over 1850 cats for example and also a sanctuary for farm animals.
Since the earthquake, the group is the only one in northwest Syria focused on finding animals. Without Ernestos, the animals left behind by their humans fleeing for their lives, or by those who were killed by collapsed buildings, would likely die.

Choose Love - Turkey and Syria.

The devastating earthquakes that hit Türkiye and Syria on 6th Feb and again on Mon 20th Feb have created a humanitarian crisis like no other. Choose Love are in constant contact with incredible partners on the ground, who despite their own loss and trauma are working tirelessly to save and support as many people as possible with dignity and sensitivity under horrendous conditions. Partners include (amongst others): The Ahbap Association (as above), AKUT Search and Rescue Association, Independent Doctors Association and in the areas of child protection; Hurras Network, YECED and Hayata Destek.
