Education is Power

Dear friends,

This is the kind of story that reminds us why we do what we do.

One of our graduates—now working in an architecture firm—recently helped a current scholarship student secure an internship at her workplace. It was a simple act, yet it carried profound meaning.

For years, Buldan Foundation has worked to provide not just scholarships, but also access to internships, job opportunities, mentorship, and a strong support network. And now, our students are beginning to become that network for one another.

What once required our direct involvement is now growing into a self-sustaining chain of solidarity. A student who once needed help now offers it. A dream realized becomes a new door opened for someone else.

This is the impact of long-term, holistic support. And you’ve made it possible.

A quick note:
GlobalGiving’s July Bonus Day is happening soon—between July 16, 10 a.m. EDT and July 17, 10 a.m. EDT.

If you’re considering a gift, this 24-hour period is a great time.
All online donations of $100 or more will be matched, with no cap or limit.
There’s nothing extra you need to do—just give during that window if you’d like your support to go further.

Thank you for believing in education.
And thank you for helping young women not only rise—but lift others with them.

With heartfelt thanks,

Dear Friend,

Your support has already made a meaningful difference in the lives of young women pursuing their education. Thanks to the generosity of our community, many of our students are overcoming financial barriers and achieving their dreams.

Meryem recently graduated from the Faculty of Engineering and is now stepping into her professional career. See her journey here.

Öykü successfully completed her internship and officially received her law license, marking the beginning of her legal career. Watch her special moment here.

These are just two examples—many more of our students are graduating, starting their careers, and building their futures with the support they receive. Each scholarship we provide helps a young woman take one step closer to her dreams.

To continue empowering more students like Meryem and Öykü, we are excited to participate in GlobalGiving’s 2025 Little by Little campaign, running from March 25, 2025, at 00:00 EDT until March 28, 2025, at 23:59 EDT. During this time, all eligible donations will be matched at 50%, making every contribution go even further.
