Scholarship distribution map for 2018-2019
Dear CYDD friend,
I would like to share with you the distribution of 2018-2019 high school scholarships which now looks somewhat different.
CYDD had started the scholarship project 22 years ago by giving scholarships to 17 girls from far eastern Turkey, Pervari, Siirt. Since then we have been supporting girls in the eastern and southeastern towns where families were large and reluctant to send girls to school, either keeping them home as helping hands or marrying them off at a very early age to ease the burden of a large family.
For some time now CYDD has increased the number of scholarships given to the girls in large western towns like Istanbul and Izmir as many families from the east are moving to the west either due to financial difficulties or due to the unrest in their towns.These families struggle in these big towns and CYDD feels the responsibility to support these girls financially as well as helping them to adapt to their new surroundings through local CYDD branches.
We thank you for your valuable support to empower as many girls as possible.
Best regards,

Girls from southeastern Turkey
Dear friends of CYDD,
A new school year started this autumn and we were able to give hope to 3000 new girl students with the support of our sponsors within and outside of Turkey.
This year we are giving high school scholarships to a total of about 7000 girls; 3000 of them are new comers. We have received about 10000 new applications and could only award scholarships to a third of the applicants. We know that we can never reach 100% of the applicants but our desire is to increase our percentage and number of scholarships every year. And for this we need your increasing support...
Young population of Turkey is increasing above the European rates and we need to educate them and educate them well to reach the contemporary level of living we all dream of- less poverty, more equality and sustainable society.
January 24th was announced as "International Day of Education" by United Nations as we want the whole world to acknowledge that "..education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.." (from message of Audrey Azoulay,Director General)..
Our special thanks to you who already feel this responsibility..
Kind regards,

THOUSANDS OF NEW APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR
By Guldal Ebeoglu | CYDD Project Division

Dear Donor,
As the new school year starts, we are getting thousands of scholarship applications from all over the country. We are lucky to have 110 CYDD branches all over Turkey and we can give scholarships to girls who apply from every city.
This year we aim to give scholarships to about 7000 girls in all levels of secondary and high school to help them stay in school and continue their education. As you probably all know the Turkish lira has been devaluated considerably and economy is going through a difficult period but one positive thing is that your donations in dolars are now more valuable. Last year scholarship for one girl for one year was about 300$; this year 230$ will be enough to keep them in school for a year.
I would also like to remind you that your donations on the particular "Giving Tueasday" day which is November 27th will be even more valuable as Global Giving will be matching them up to 150000$. You can help even more girls if you make your year end donations on that special day.
Thank you for supporting girls and helping them to become empowered young women..
Kind regards,
