“What people really need right now is a roof over their heads and emergency food supplies to feed their children.”

Dania Kareh, Oxfam Communications Officer, Syria

Here in the UK, it’s almost impossible for many of us to comprehend the sheer devastation wrought by the recent earthquakes across Turkey (Türkiye) and Syria. A fragile situation made even worse by freezing weather and ongoing conflict – combined with rising fuel and food prices.

At Lowie HQ we feel compelled to stand with people fighting for their very basic needs to be met. Including the urgent provision of food, water, shelter, and medical care. As a result, we’re donating ALL proceeds from the sale of our much-loved Turkish socks to the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC)’s Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal.

DEC charities and their local partners are among the first responders, working with locally-led relief efforts in Turkey (Türkiye) and Syria. Immediate priorities are search and rescue, medical treatment for the injured, shelter for those who have lost their homes, heaters for spaces and winter kits with blankets, and warm clothes, and ensuring people have food and clean water. 

Please support us in raising as much as we can to alleviate the untold horror of this humanitarian crisis.
