PayPal Giving Fund Launches Disaster Relief Campaign
Recent earthquakes have caused widespread destruction in Turkey and Syria, leaving a rising death toll and thousands of people impacted. PayPal, together with PayPal Giving Fund Ireland, has launched a disaster relief campaign to support UNICEF Ireland, Irish Red Cross and Irish Emergency Alliance who are working in the affected areas.
And you can help to support these responding charities.
These organisations are working to provide essential services to those affected. Every organisation uses donations they receive differently – when you choose a charity to support, read their mission statement or visit their website to understand how donations will be used.
Your support will help people who have been left without shelter in freezing winter conditions, with humanitarian needs expected to grow in the coming days. Access to clean water will likely be a challenge, bringing the risk of cholera and other diseases.
As communities navigate how to tackle this disaster and support survivors, there will be great need for assistance. PayPal will cover all transaction costs* for donations made through our Giving Fund platform, ensuring each donation will reach those organisations that are working hard to provide relief and recovery efforts to affected communities on the ground.
