More than 150 people have died already, with hundreds missing and thousands more injured. It is estimated that 300,000+ people will be homeless or displaced due to damaged homes.

Cisco is excited to collaborate with the San Francisco 49ers on Wheels for Refugees, a bike building event benefiting the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The IRC is working across the arc of the Afghanistan crisis by providing food, cash and other aid in Afghanistan itself while also helping to resettle Afghans who have arrived in the United States. As many Afghans have fled the country to build new lives in the United States, the IRC in Northern California will help four times the typical number of refugees placed each month. The IRC has shared that their greatest need is for bicycles to provide the refugees as a means of transportation for school and work in their new community. Cisco and the 49ers have come together to support this urgent need through a bike building event on December 16th. The event will look to provide about 50 bicycles to refugee families in the Bay Area. In addition to hosting the event, Cisco is providing a cash donation to purchase the bikes & further support the IRC’s mission. Please help us come together to support this important cause right in Cisco HQ’s backyard by donating to the IRC. Every donation by a Cisco blue badge employee will be matched by the Cisco Foundation!

Afghanistan needs your help in this time of desperate need. The recent devastating escalation of violence in Kabul and in the northeast regions has forced families to flee their homes in desperate search of safety. The fighting and devastation is spreading like wildfire forcing women, children and families to abandon their homes and possessions. Prior to the recent outbreak of hostilities, there were already more than four million internally displaced people in Afghanistan. The situation is grim and everyday more and more people, a majority of whom are women and children, are either internally displaced or are fleeing to neighboring countries and seeking refuge. The UN estimates that as many as half of the country’s population will be in need of urgent humanitarian aid, including food, housing and basic medical care.

Torrential monsoon rains and floods have washed away villages and infrastructure across three of the four provinces of Pakistan (Sindh, Baluchistan, and Punjab). As a result, around 33 million people, including 16 million children, have been affected, with more than 1,100 people dead. Some 200,000 homes have been swept away and a further 450,000 damaged; nearly 18,000 schools have been damaged as well. Government officials are calling it a “climate catastrophe” and say the country is “ground zero” for extreme weather events. In the past year, Pakistan's also experienced heat waves, forest fires, and glacial lake outbursts. Pakistan produces less than 1% of global GHG emissions, yet it is listed as one of the most climate vulnerable places in the world. We've created the fund to support organizations and their emergency response efforts delivering life saving supplies, such as food, water, medicines and shelter.

On 6 February 2023, a powerful M7.8 earthquake struck Türkiye's Gaziantep province near the Syrian border, killing thousands of people and injuring thousands more in Turkey and Syria. There have been multiple strong aftershocks, felt as far away as Lebanon, Cyprus, Iraq and Egypt. One of the strongest quakes to hit the region in more than 100 years, it has caused extensive damage of homes, businesses and infrastructure; the death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue operations continue. Türkiye has declared a state of emergency and appealed for international assistance. Cisco Foundation has launched a Türkiye and Syria Earthquake disaster campaign which will support Americares, CARE, International Medical Corps, International Rescue Committee, Islamic Relief USA, Mercy Corps, and World Central Kitchen. Cisco employee gifts up to $10,000 will be matched and will not count against their annual $25K match allowance. Note on Tax Deductibility: This fund includes U.S.- based organizations.

The United Nations’ International Organization for Migration (IOM) says that more than 30,000 people have also been displaced. Heavy rains from the storm caused two dams in the northern city of Derna to burst, washing away homes, neighborhoods and flooding streets. The debris and rubble left in the flood’s wake have made it difficult for rescue teams to access the area.
