Project 2024
Hatay, Turkey
In 2024, Energy for Refugees collaborated with the Bohşin-Imam Hatip Middle School in Hatay, Turkey, where the devastating earthquake of February 6th occurred. Our project aimed to alleviate 1500 students from the school of energy insecurity.
WHERE
On the 6th of February 2023, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake followed by a 7.7-magnitude one rocked Hatay and 10 other provinces in southern Turkey killing more than 50,000 people and displacing millions. Parts of Hatay remain in ruins, with badly damaged buildings awaiting demolition. The Bohşin-Imam Hatip Middle School fortunately avoided major damage, but its student capacity has since expanded from accommodating 800 to now hosting 1500 children, as other educational facilities were destroyed.
