Break Poverty Cycle By Educating Girls In Turkey

We had launched our project in November 2011; before our second year is over we have already reached and doubled with your support our short-term goal of helping 100 girls continue their education. At the end of our second year 200 girls have received your support. With this encouragement, we now feel our goal of helping 1000 underprivileged girls is not a dream but a soon-to-happen reality. Please continue your support and help us to have a lasting impact on the lives of many girls who are eager and determined to get education.

The story of Fatma shows her determination to deny the fate of living in poverty …

“My name is Fatma. Considering my family’s situation, I want to study. I do not want to stay ignorant. Looking at my mother’s and father’s situation, I want to have a good profession. My mother and I look after the cows. For this reason, I do not want to live in poverty. I want to get educated and become somebody. I do not want to be in misery, I want to be a good citizen. My mother looks after the cows. My father is self employed; he sometimes goes to work and sometimes doesn’t. This year, I persuaded my father and got myself enrolled in school.

I want to become a lawyer in the future. It is better to study and become someone rather then live in poverty. My mother always tells me to study and I always tell her I will not let her down. My father sometimes tells me he will not send me to school. When he says that, I want to study more. I say this with all my heart. If I get this scholarship, it will be better for me and my family and I will be able to really study.”

Every small donation helps to change a life and we feel privileged to be able to help them build a future for themselves.

Thank you for your continued support.
