SUGO Reinforces its Commitment to Charity, Supporting Turkey’s Post-Earthquake Reconstruction

In February 2023, a devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern and central Turkey, as well as northern and western Syria, causing immense loss of life and widespread property damage. Reconstruction efforts in the affected areas are ongoing over a year and a half later.

This devastated region has not been forgotten, as the global community responded swiftly to the disaster. Numerous charitable organizations, businesses, and millions of individuals provided immediate assistance. Beyond initial relief efforts, some companies, including the social networking platform SUGO, have been committed to helping local communities rebuild and regain a sense of normalcy.

This April, SUGO launched an online fundraising initiative to support victims of the Syria-Turkey earthquake. The campaign saw enthusiastic participation from users and creators, raising a total of 150,000 Turkish lira. SUGO then used the funds to purchase and distribute relief supplies to residents in Hatay, Turkey—one of the most severely affected areas.

With a strong presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, SUGO has extended its support to other vulnerable groups across the area. During Ramadan 2024, the company organized a series of charitable initiatives, donating over $10,000 worth of essentials and children’s toys to organizations like Resala, Anwar AIRsool, and Awladi Orphanage.

SUGO, a companion-focused social networking platform, offers features like messaging and voice chat rooms. Since its launch in 2021, SUGO has gained popularity in MENA, Southeast Asia, and other key markets. In 2024, its monthly revenue exceeded $10 million. The platform facilitated its fundraising efforts through in-app features, enabling users to contribute directly via text and voice chat rooms.

Initially launched in the MENA region, SUGO continues to prioritize this area as a core market. The platform’s numerous charitable activities since early 2024 reflect its commitment to giving back to its users and the broader communities it serves.
