| Objectives of Project | This project is intended to help vulnerable refugee families to prepare for and get through the winter. Within the scope of the programme, these families will be selected in accordance with the vulnerability and eligibility criteria of UNHCR to be considered as beneficiaries. Taking into account refugee feedback from the previous winter assistance programme, UNHCR is using one-off cash assistance via debit cards issued by the Turkish postal service (PTT). Syrian refugee families are receiving a card carrying a one-time value of USD 200 (for families made up of up to three individuals), USD 250 (for families made up of four to five individuals) and USD 300 (for families composed of six or more individuals). The cards for refugee families of other nationalities carry a value of USD 250 (for families composed of up to five individuals) and USD 300 for larger families (composed of six or more individuals). The debit cards can be used in any shop which is part of the MasterCard circuit, allowing refugees to buy a variety of goods or services in thousands of shops across the country. |
| Beneficiaries reached | UNHCR is assisting 108,000 urban refugee households, including 96,000 Syrian refugee households and 12,000 refugee households of other nationalities. Total data as the number of 46.038 Syrian households were collected by IMPR. |
