Project Report | Feb 23, 2026
Empowering Children Across Turkiye

By Gozde Arasl | Program Services Manager

“Following the disaster, our school remained closed for over a year, and while reinforcement and repairs were finally completed this year, we found ourselves entirely without educational materials. Your support has been a true lifeline for us. My students use every game and resource with immense joy, and on behalf of my school, my students, and myself, I would like to express our deepest gratitude. There are now dozens of children in Hatay who know your names and carry your kindness with them.”

These moving words from a teacher highlight the profound impact of your contributions. Her sentiment reflects the gratitude of countless teachers and students who have seen their classrooms transformed through your generosity. Thanks to your unwavering support, we can reach schools in need across Türkiye. We believe education is more than just books; it requires the dignity and comfort that allow a child to focus on their studies.

Between July 2025 and January 2026, your contributions provided essential winter relief and academic tools to hundreds of children. Specifically, we delivered schoolbags and stationery sets to 715 students, while also providing new winter boots and coats to 435 students. These figures represent more than just data—they represent a story of resilience. Every backpack delivered and every warm coat provided ensures that a child can attend school with confidence, warmth, and a sense of belonging.

Your support has served as a vital lifeline, empowering children across the country to pursue their futures despite the hardships they have faced. Each learning game and piece of equipment represents a child who can now continue their education with joy and security. On behalf of the families, teachers, and most importantly, the children of Türkiye, thank you for choosing to make a difference that truly lasts.
