Creality is providing support to those affected by recent earthquakes in Turkey. In collaboration with Genix, Creality’s major distributor in Turkey, the company has donated around 1,500 emergency supply kits including tents and blankets to the affected regions through Ahbap Association, a non-governmental organization founded by Turkish musician and philanthropist Haluk Levent.
The supplies were sent to Ahbap’s community recovery warehouse in Osmaniye, southern Turkey, and will be distributed to the surrounding villages as requested by the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority.
“It is heartbreaking to see so many people affected by the devastating earthquakes, and our deepest condolences go to the families who have lost their loved ones,” said Ao Danjun, CEO of Creality.
“As a global company, we are responsible for providing timely aid to people in need. Our local colleagues and business partners are sparing no effort in allocating supplies and helping victims, and we will continue to stand with the local people during this challenging time.”
Creality has been involved in charitable contributions for many years and established the Creality Charity Fund in 2020. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Creality donated 300,000 RMB (43,200 USD) to the Wuhan Charity Federation for epidemic prevention and control and procured 50,000 KN95 masks worth 500,000 RMB, which were shipped to the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and other countries.
Turkey and Syria were both struck by magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes on Feb. 6, and aftershocks are still causing problems in the regions.
