Facilities & Infrastructure within the Camp

Part of supporting refugee families living in transitory tented communities is making sure they have potable water, toilets and sanitary conditions that reduce disease, as well as making sure there are wheelchair ramps and handrails for the disabled. Additionally, we help repair chimneys, fridges, washing machines and anything else we are qualified to do to improve their daily lives. We work with local organisations on a voluntary basis and foster the idea of community and human spirit.

Advice and Legal Assistance

TIAFI offers something called Info Point. Refugees can get face-to-face support for their needs, accessible via WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook. It is well regarded amongst the refugee communities in Turkey (and internationally) for navigating the Turkish asylum system, the education system and health and social services.

Izmir Bar Association has generously teamed up with TIAFI to offer a free weekly legal clinic advising on legal and asylum matters, healthcare, housing, education, ID appointments, Red Crescent registrations, Employment, Training and more.

Info Point is open during weekdays between 09:00 pm and 5:30 pm with a lawyer in residence who speaks Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish and English and can also be contacted via WhatsApp . For more information click here.
