Donations to Airbnb.org help people like Elif find a place to call home during times of crisis.
After working with humanitarian organizations for eight years, Elif suddenly found herself on the receiving end of emergency aid. She lost her home and everything inside during the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. She was staying 3 hours away, though through Airbnb.org she found a place in Hatay. This saved Elif the long commute, giving her more time and space to focus on her job.
“When I stayed in an Airbnb, I could go home and relax. When I woke up the next day, I was energized and ready to do my job. I could motivate my team.”
