“Our thoughts go out to our colleagues and their loved ones in
Türkiye that continue to face many challenges following the
devastating earthquakes,” said Eric Hansotia, AGCO chairman,
president, and chief executive officer. “We greatly appreciate the
efforts of everyone involved in ensuring the safety of our
colleagues and their families, our Massey Ferguson dealers, and our
farmers who are working to help secure the food supply. Our
donation will provide needed, timely aid for those affected.”
AGCO’s donation to UNICEF will be used to distribute relief
supplies and services to those in need in Türkiye. While the total
number of children affected remains unclear, an estimated 5.4
million children live in the provinces impacted by the earthquakes.
2.5 million children need immediate support.
"The impact of the earthquakes on children and families has been
catastrophic, leaving hundreds of thousands in a desperate
situation,” says Bettina Junker, Executive Director of UNICEF
Switzerland and Liechtenstein. “We are doing everything in our
power to ensure that all those affected by the disaster receive the
support they need." After natural disasters, UNICEF is often among
the first organizations on the ground. In Türkiye, UNICEF teams are
working with partners to distribute essential supplies such as
critical health supplies, blankets, clothing, and safe drinking
water and sanitation supplies, as well as continuing to provide
safe spaces for children to play and recover from the traumatic
events they have witnessed.
