Turkish drone magnate Baykar will donate permanent shelters for those affected by massive earthquakes in Türkiye’s south, which left more than 30,000 dead and thousands of others injured while forcing many to abandon their homes.
Selçuk Bayraktar, the chief technology officer (CTO) of Baykar has announced that in collaboration with AFAD, his company will be donating 1,000 homes to provide permanent shelter for those in need.
This donation is part of Baykar's housing mobilization initiative and takes the company's total aid to a staggering TL 1.8 billion ($9,550,905), he wrote on Twitter.
Bayraktar said he believes that the wounds of earthquake survivors can be healed by working together. He also said that Baykar is also launching the Baykar Container City, which will provide a safe and comfortable home for 2,000 people in the region, as part of efforts to further support the critical need for shelter amid freezing temperatures.
Despite the difficult circumstances, the community will get through this challenging time in unity, Bayraktar added.
Baykar has been providing financial support, as well as humanitarian aid, to 10 provinces after two massive earthquakes hit them on Feb. 6.

The first mass-produced version of Turkey's state-of-the-art unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) Akıncı, Bayraktar Akıncı S-1, passed its initial flight test Wednesday.
Türkiye’s unmanned fighter jet, the Bayraktar Kızılelma, completed its fourth test, the System Identification Test, a high-ranking official from the developing company said Saturday.
Türkiye’s first unmanned fighter aircraft, Bayraktar KIZILELMA, has carried out yet another historic test in the sky. In the test conducted with the participation of two F-16 fighter jets of the Turkish Air Force, KIZILELMA locked onto the target F-16 using the national AESA Radar MURAD, and achieved a direct hit in its simulated fire test with the national air-to-air missile GÖKDOĞAN.
