In response to the devastating earthquake in Turkey, Syria and neighboring communities on February 6th, Constructor University and Constructor Group have initiated efforts to support those impacted. The tremor, with a magnitude of 7.8, has reportedly affected thousands of individuals.
Constructor University and Constructor Group are launching their relief efforts by promoting a fundraiser on Groundbreaker, a nonprofit platform that works as a link between donors and local initiatives worldwide. This immediate support will help provide aid to those affected by the disaster.
