Story

On September 18, 2022, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan, killing at least one person and injuring more than 140 people. Survivors need access to emergency supplies like food, water, and medicine. All donations to this fund will exclusively support local relief and recovery efforts from this earthquake.

Impact

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are often in the best position to provide long-term support for disaster victims. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger disaster-response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future disasters. GlobalGiving will post reports about how funds have been used and will email these reports to donors and subscribers.

Challenge

The 6.8 earthquake, following an earlier 6.4 earthquake, caused at least one apartment building and two bridges to collapse in Hualien County, Taiwan. There was also extensive damage to train rails, roads, and other important infrastructure in all affected areas, leaving many stranded in precarious situations.
