THE CAUSE: PROSTHETIC LIMBS

On the fateful morning of February 6th 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred in southern Turkey near the northern border of Syria. This quake was followed approximately 9 hours later by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake. Many lives were instantly changed from that day on. Hundreds lost homes, family members, colleagues and were seriously injured.

CASE STORY:

Mohammad, a 31-year-old from Idlib, has dedicated over a decade of his life to the medical field. His passion for helping others grew stronger with each passing day as he cared for those devastated by the ongoing conflict and bombings in his hometown

Mohammad's life changed forever. When the powerful earthquake struck it caused the building he lived in to collapse. The disaster claimed the lives of his wife, an employee of Syria Relief, a subsidiary of Action For Humanity, and his children. Mohammad himself survived but lost his left hand in the rubble.

Amidst unimaginable grief and physical trauma, Mohammad tried to resume his medical work, but the challenges of his amputation proved overwhelming. That’s when Syria Relief and Action For Humanity intervened. Recognising his determination to continue serving his community, the organisation offered him a prosthetic limb.

The prosthetic was swiftly delivered from Türkiye to northern Syria. After undergoing extensive physical therapy and training, Mohammad began adapting to his new prosthetic.

“The prosthetic can never fully replace my original hand, but it gives me about 40% functionality, which is far better than having no hand at all. I'm so grateful to the Action For Humanity donors.”

With renewed strength, Mohammad returned to his medical duties, driven by the same unwavering purpose to help those in need. Today, Mohammad dreams of establishing specialised centres for children and adults with amputations, envisioning a future where they, too, can rebuild their lives. He remains profoundly grateful to Syria Relief and Action For Humanity for their life-changing support.

To participate, you’ll commit to raising a minimum of £100 for Action For Humanity’s Prosthetic Limb Project.

• £100 can provide first aid and medical support for multiple amputees
• £600–£1,200 can fund a full prosthetic limb, depending on the complexity of the case

Your efforts will directly transform lives and give vulnerable people the chance to live without limits.

Spaces are limited — don’t miss out. Secure your spot today and prepare for an unforgettable adventure.
