Hepsiburada Launches a Donation Campaign for International Community following the Earthquake in Türkiye
Hepsiburada, a prominent Turkish e-commerce platform, has launched a donation campaign to assist the victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck southeastern Türkiye on February 6, 2023. In response to the disaster, Hepsiburada has implemented several initiatives, including facilitating the sale of 1.2 million aid products and the distribution of 115 million TRY worth of aid within just 8 days. The company has also introduced digital prepaid donation cards, allowing customers to contribute to NGOs and public bodies quickly. To broaden the relief efforts, Hepsiburada created a dedicated donation page for international donations, ensuring timely delivery of aid items.

- Delivered aid worth 115 million TRY in just 8 days after the disaster.
- Launched digital prepaid donation cards, resulting in sales of 220,000 cards.

To provide the earliest possible relief to the affected areas, Hepsiburada took several actions since the early hours of the disaster, including but not limited to:
- creating, on its platform, a list of aid goods to facilitate purchases by its consumers as a donation, which are then delivered by Hepsiburada's logistics teams, to the Earthquake Solidarity Campaign of the
Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye and AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management of Türkiye). Since the earthquake, Hepsiburada has facilitated the sale and donation of 1.2 million products; - launching digital prepaid donation cards on the Hepsiburada platform and generating cash contribution to the name of several non-governmental organizations and two public bodies, which are transferred to their relevant accounts on the next day. Since the launch of the campaign, Hepsiburada customers purchased 220 thousand digital support cards through our platform.
- mobilizing its distribution center in
Adana as a coordination center and dispatching 12 lorries carrying aid goods to help the logistics needs of various NGOs, municipalities and public institutions.
With all these efforts, Hepsiburada delivered aid worth 115 million TRY to the region in 8 days following the disaster.
In addition, to enable international community to join the relief efforts, Hepsiburada launched a donation page on https://www.hepsiburada.com/earthquake
Through this page, international visitors can donate to NGOs and public authorities by purchasing digital donation cards or purchasing aid items in line with the Earthquake Solidarity Campaign. Hepsiburada will be dispatching and distributing aid item orders, without any commercial purpose, in coordination with AFAD. The donation cards on the Hepsiburada platform and generating cash contribution to several NGO's, AFAD and Red Crescent, are transferred to their relevant accounts on the next day.
