The most impactful day dedicated to giving, Giving Tuesday is approaching. As BTF, we are very excited about participating GivingTuesday, a global day of giving.
Every year BTF participates in the movement to provide better education to the underserved kids in Türkiye thanks to the circle of friends and donors’ support. This year, we aim to support village school students with educational class supplies and university students with scholarships. The goal is for these students to have the opportunity for a better future and be able to break the cycle of poverty.
We would like to share the details of the schools that we want to support below:
Gücükler Village Kindergarten – Bolu
In this economically distressed environment, teacher Handenur wants to provide hope for her students. She teaches at Bolu’s Gucukler village, where there has been no school for the last eight years, and children currently continue their classes in a divided room at a local mosque. This classroom needs books and educational toys to inspire the students to achieve their dreams. Would you like to support teacher Handenur and help eight village school students in need?
Karasungur Primary School - Diyarbakr
Without being in their shoes, it would be difficult to understand how it feels to be deprived of essential materials to let kids live their best, most fulfilled lives. Teachers Sehriban, Nalin, and Baran teach at a small school in Diyarbakr and wish to draw attention to the needs of their students. They are hoping for our support. These underprivileged students don’t even have access to primary school supplies, such as pencils, notebooks, school bags, etc. Classrooms also need science sets, math and intelligence games, and art supplies to improve students’ learning skills. It is in your hands to help them so our students don’t fall behind in their education.
Istiklal Primary School - Batman
Teacher Bahar believes that her students, like all other city students, should have access to contemporary education with the necessary tools and materials. She teaches in a school in Batman and tries to overcome the economic disadvantage felt by her 36 students. She needs your support. Her students are deprived of books, school supplies, school bags, sports kits, and educational toys. Your support will provide access to equal opportunity for her students!
Your support ensures we have the resources to connect students with the supplies they need to succeed in today’s world.
Join us to support rural classrooms with educational supplies they need, and help teachers create a bright future for their students.
