Nikan Charity’s Assistance to the People Natural Disasters in Iran

The earthquake belt covers 90 percent of Iran’s territory, which means this is a country with the potential for severe and continuous earthquakes. The number and intensity of earthquakes in Iran over the past decade also confirm this. However, the story of natural disasters in Iran doesn’t end with only earthquakes.  In the past few years, even in summer and spring, we have witnessed devastating floods in various provinces of Iran, and these examples clearly show how we should always be prepared for natural disasters.

Nikan Charity Foundation not only played an important and influential role in the past natural disasters in Iranbut it is also prepared to assist in unforeseeable future disasters with full power possible. This short article shows Nikan’s record in these areas, a record that would never have been possible without your help and cooperation.

The Need for Preparation for Unforeseeable Natural Disasters in Iran

Every year, many countries experience various types of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, etc. In any part of the world, depending on the geographical region and climatic characteristics, various natural disasters may occur. Such events affect the lives of thousands of people and cause great damage. The important thing is that when such natural disasters occur, there must be sufficient preparation to deal with them. Also, relief to the injured and financial assistance to those affected by these events must be carried out as quickly as possible.

You may know that the geography and climate of Iran have made our country susceptible to various types of natural disasters, especially floods, earthquakes, and seasonal fires. In such cases, charity foundations play an important role in compensating for the financial damages caused by such disasters.

Natural Disasters in Iran 

The important thing is that Iran is among the 10 earthquake-prone countries in the world. Other than this, all provinces of Iran are prone to floods, and this natural disaster causes a lot of damage every year. Every year, a lot of money is spent on rebuilding earthquake and flood-affected areas. On the other hand, by preventive measures, the amount of damage might be reduced so that less financial burden will be placed on governmental and private donors.

By increasing awareness and educating people, especially students, on safety precautions during natural disasters, we can prevent damage such as death and injuries. In recent years, 26 of our country’s 31 provinces have been affected by floods, and more than 16 million people have been indirectly affected, and about two million people have been directly affected by these floods.

Meteorological and geological data show that in the last three years, changes in the Earth have been the main cause of these natural disasters. The same information also shows that geographically, 83 percent of our country is at high risk of earthquakes.

In such circumstances, although the Disaster Management Organization provides great assistance to those affected, this is not enough, and the role of charity foundations is really important in compensating for the lack of support.

The Role of the Nikan Charity on Natural Disasters in Iran

For this reason, in recent years, the Nikan Charity was established to help those affected by such disasters and provide assistance to fellow citizens.

The Nikan Charity Foundation has played a significant role in the country’s natural disasters, such as major earthquakes and floods, in recent years. With the help of donors, this foundation has helped deprived areas and those affected by these events.

This assistance includes preparing areas for the settlement of the affected, as well as providing food packages and cash assistance, etc. However, in order to prepare more packages, more donors are needed to help this foundation.

Currently, many donors are helping Nikan Charity. Great work has been done to help the affected and dented people. The charity is trying to support the affected people as fast as possible, and these efforts fortunately increased the trust of donors in the foundation. Nikan Charity has always tried to compensate those affected by disasters such as floods, earthquakes, etc.
