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,
