For many days over the past week, wildfires have been sweeping the southern coast of Turkey. The residents are devastated by the situation. Alongside lost lives, more than 1,000 people were evacuated; livestock, land and houses are expected to get burned.
Gate.io is going to contribute $30,000 through the GT Foundation, to donate to the affected area in Turkey. The donation will be used to support impacted communities. Gate.io is recruiting volunteers for material procurement and delivery, all costs for purchasing and delivering supplies will be compensated by Gate.io, and the volunteers have the responsibility to purchase and deliver supplies on behalf of Gate.io.
Gate.io is here to assist the Turkish community to get through this incredibly challenging time.
If you wish to participate as a volunteer or can provide any assistance, please fill out the Volunteer Registration Form here (For Turkish Users Only): https://www.gate.io/questionnaire/677
Transparency is the top priority. Supplies that are used to help people, will be announced on Gate.io official website, social media, and communities.
