Keep refugees safe

It's just a few kilometres from Ayvalik(Turkey) to Lesvos(Greece) but Aegean Sea has become a cold blooded killer lately taking thousands of lives every year.

During the past few years with the Syrian conflict, certain businesses had benefited by selling items to those leaving the turmoil.
Many shops in west coast Turkey sell fake life jackets and boats to the refugees adding to the number of deaths in Aegean sea specially children and women (every day two children die in Aegean sea). A few days ago one of my Syrian friends was told he lost his sister and niece because of fake life jackets in Aegean sea. My friends and I have been providing support and help to keep people alive in Ayvalik and Bodrum crossing. we make donations for life jacket (Each life saving jacket cost between 30-100 Lira)share information on weather at sea and if storms are coming, provide a contact detail to refugees to call if they get into trouble, etc.

What we do is a drop in the ocean, but when its one persons life, it is bigger than the world... And in unity there's strength so we ask for your support too. Rough seas are here, the challenges and dangers for refugees are worsening and need all the help we can get to fight the terrifying problem of human loss .

Any small support from you is BIG help in saving lives.

We are currently volunteering using personal funds (all accommodation and living costs in Turkey, etc.) We desperately need your support to provide further assistance. If you're keen to join our team, or can donate please contact and we will get back to you with details.

Thank you
