Our Focus
Integration
Millions of people forced to migrate from their homes face socio-economic difficulties. In this process, the most long-term problem they face is their integration into their new community. Since 2014, our team has been working for the social integration of refugee children living in Istanbul.
EDUCATION
Only 38% of school-age refugee children are able to attend school. Education, put second mostly due to financial constraints, makes a lost generation inevitable. Our team aims to help children who cannot go to school and to support those who do.
SUPPORT
Any help given from the heart is invaluable to the children. In this direction, our team carries out organizations for the moral and material needs of our little heroes and their families.

86% of the world's refugees seek asylum in underdeveloped and developing countries. In countries where vital needs of refugee families are barely met, families are not able to prioritize education. In the current situation, due to insufficient resources, lack of adequate teachers and curriculum, refugee children are 5 times less likely to continue their education when compared to non-refugee children. In addition, refugee children who work contribute a significant portion to the household income, which increasingly leads these kids to miss out from a real childhood and proper education. The thousands of children living in Turkey for more than five years now constitute a lost generation.
